Light the Menorah

A parent would reach for this book when they want to involve a high-energy toddler in the nightly Hanukkah tradition without the safety concerns of real fire. It serves as a gentle, tactile bridge between the excitement of holiday treats and the focused ritual of lighting the menorah, making it perfect for families establishing their first holiday traditions together. This interactive board book introduces the core elements of the Festival of Lights, from the story of the Maccabees to the joy of frying latkes and spinning dreidels. With each page, your child can participate in the mitzvah by using pull-tabs to 'light' a new candle. It is a joyful, low-pressure way to build holiday vocabulary and counting skills for children aged one to four.
