While the Candles Burn: Eight Stories for Hanukkah

Barbara Diamond Goldin

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Dedication, faith, religious freedom-these are just some of the concepts at the heart of the celebration of Hanukkah.

In her vivid, eloquent, and occasionally lighthearted voice, she portrays timeless themes such as commitment, courage, lights, and miracles-and issues as contemporary as today's headlines: the role of women in Judaism, and peace between Arabs and Israelis.
