Rabbi Matzah: The Hanukkah Book is a laugh-out-loud, heart-filled time-travel adventure that brings the story of Hanukkah to life for kids, families, classrooms, and anyone who's ever asked, Wait... what is Hanukkah actually about?
Mike and Maya are just two curious kids trying to light their menorah and maybe sneak a piece of gelt before bedtime. But when a mysterious swirl of smoke appears above the candles and a crumb-covered rabbi steps out of thin air, their quiet Hanukkah turns into something else entirely.
Enter Rabbi Matzah: miracle consultant, part-time storyteller, full-time time traveler.
Before they know it, Mike and Maya are whisked into the past - ancient Jerusalem, to be exact - where they meet Judah Maccabee, explore a crumbling Temple, and discover a tiny jar of oil that sparks a very big question: what exactly makes something a miracle?
As they tumble through time (and snacks), Mike and Maya begin to understand the courage behind the candles, the story behind the celebration, and the kind of light that doesn't need matches to stay lit.
This book is packed with:
- Fast-paced, laugh-out-loud storytelling
- A magical rabbi with a matzah wand
- A modern explanation of Hanukkah kids can understand
- Full-color illustrations on every page
- Recipes, songs, and activities in the back
- And zero goats were harmed (but at least one appears briefly)
Perfect for readers ages 6-10, Rabbi Matzah: The Hanukkah Book makes Jewish history accessible, meaningful, and just the right amount of ridiculous. Whether your family is celebrating Hanukkah every year or learning about it for the first time, this is a holiday book you'll actually want to read more than once.
They came for the latkes. They stayed for the miracle. And no one exploded - which, according to Rabbi Matzah, is a Hanukkah success.
