Back by popular demand, the classic JPS holiday anthologies remain
essential and relevant in our digital age. Unequaled in-depth
compilations of classic and contemporary writings, they have long
guided rabbis, cantors, educators, and other readers seeking the
origins, meanings, and varied celebrations of the Jewish festivals.
The Hanukkah Anthology delves into the stories and messages of
Hanukkah as they have unfolded in Jewish literature over the past
two thousand years: biblical intimations of the festival,
postbiblical writings, selections from the Talmud and midrashim,
excerpts from medieval books, home liturgies, laws and customs,
observances in different nations, stories and poems, art, and
recipes. This timeless volume features many works by prominent
authors, including Herman Wouk, Judah L. Magnes, Chaim Potok,
Heinrich Heine, Emma Lazarus, Howard Fast, Sholom Aleichem, Curt
Leviant, I. L. Peretz, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
