Description
In the list of Jewish holidays, Hanukkah stands alone: all the others are mentioned in the Tanakh, and Hanukkah is not marked in any way. The book “Guide to the Hanukkat Holiday” offered to the reader’s attention makes up for the lack of information. Review of historical events, detailed explanations of laws and customs, analysis of religious and national aspects of the holiday, translation of the works of the Lubavitcher Rebbe M.-M. Schneerson’s commented translation of the only authentic text recognized by Judaism about those times – the Hasmone scroll – will give a comprehensive picture of the unique festival of lights and light – Hanukkah.
