Two Jewish celebrations are presented through illustrated stories, puppets and songs: Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, and Passover, a holiday celebrating freedom. At a Hunukkah celebration, youngsters learn about the miracle of the Menorah as they light candles, play games and sing songs to commemorate the holiday. As an introduction to Passover and the traditional Seder meal, children visit a matzo bakery where they mix, roll and flatten dough to create their own matzo. An illustrated folk tale about the importance of family, performances by Jewish folk singers, and a dreidel-making activity all combine to capture the joyous nature of these holidays.
