Critic Reviews

"There Was a Young Rabbi, a Hanukkah Tale, written by Suzanne Wolfe and delightfully illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler (published by Kar Ben and available on September 1), uses a familiar song to show how the young rabbi celebrates Hanukkah in style. With fun repetition popularized by the old tune 'There Was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly,' we follow the rabbi as she lights the menorah and makes latkes, with applesauce, of course. The story is sprinkled liberally with all the beloved traditions, from dreidels, chocolate gelt, and a warm family gathering at the end. Children will delight in repeating each verse as it gets longer and longer. A dash of Hannukah facts and a back page that retells the story of the Maccabees round out this story. A fun read for any Hanukkah celebration." (Marcia Berneger, San Diego Jewish World)
