The Maccabees

The story of Hanukkah, to read in Hebrew with your child.

251
words in the glossary
84
pages

King Antiochus wants everyone to live like the Greeks. In Modiin, old Mattityahu and his five sons say no. With Yehuda the Maccabee, a small army with a big heart frees Jerusalem and the Beit Hamikdash. Little Uri is there when they find just one small jar of pure oil, enough for one day… and the Menorah shines for eight days.

On every double page, Hebrew with all its vowels, and the English opposite. Words your child has already read several times stay in Hebrew, written as they sound, with a little number that leads to the glossary. Page after page, the English fades and your child reads more and more Hebrew.
