Synopsis
For over twenty-five years, thousands of Jewish
children around the country have been writing Hanukkah letters addressed
to "Bubbie and Zadie"--Yiddish for "Grandma"
and "Grandpa"--all because of Daniel Halevi Bloom’s special
Hanukkah tale. Now, Square One is proud to make this classic story
available in a new and brilliantly illustrated holiday edition.
As told in this charming folktale, on the first
night of Hanukkah, the magical Bubbie and Zadie visit all Jewish
children in their homes. There, they tell wonderful stories, listen
to the children’s own stories, share wise advice, and--most important--give
the children love. How do they travel to so many homes in one night?
Nobody knows. But every Hanukkah, Bubbie and Zadie bring joy into
the lives of all Jewish children, instilling the Hanukkah spirit.
Here, then, is the perfect book for the first
night of Hanukkah--a visit from two loving and wonderfully magical
people. Whether read by a child, by a parent to a child, or by a
grandparent to a grandchild, Bubbie and Zadie warms the heart
and brings even greater meaning to the Festival of Lights. Now,
the special place that grandparents hold in children’s lives can
be celebrated along with the miracle of Hanukkah.

Israel with his family. There, he studied sociology and political
