Everyone who knows me knows I'm not really a fan of morality tales, particularly really obvious ones. But I also believe in exceptions to every rule, and perhaps the exception to this one is in the occasional traditional fairytale or folktale, particularly for the holidays, when we're already focused on traditions and passing on our cultural values. And I have to say, I fell so deeply in love with Durga Yael Bernhard's absolutely GORGEOUS illustrations for "The Dreidel That Wouldn't Spin: A Toyshop Tale of Hanukkah" (2014), by Martha Seif Simpson, that I couldn't NOT share it. The story itself really is quite sweet, if a bit predictable for adults, centering on an exquisite, handmade dreidel (the traditional spinning top played with at Chanukah) in a toy store, which simply won't work for greedy, spoiled children (I think we can guess who it WILL spin for...). But it really is enjoyable, and as I said, the artwork is beautiful. A great library read for the last night of Chanukah! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #jewishnoodlenuts #noodlenutschanukah #thedreidelthatwouldntspin #marthaseifsimpson #durgayaelbernhard #durgabernhard #wisdomtales #chanukahstory #hanukkahstory #chanukah #hanukkah #dreidel #dreideldreideldreidel #dreidels #spinningtop #nesgadolhayasham #agreatmiraclehappenedthere #jewish #jewishholidays https://www.instagram.com/p/B6q3jlIHDZ7/?igshid=e2cw4v3kczjc

Happy Hanukkah! To night we celebrate the miracles that occurred so long ago; the Maccabees, the lights. To mourn those who have died because of what they believed in. Most of all, to celebrate being Jewish.

Hannukah Night Eight: Nes Gadol Haya Sham / A great miracle happened there. The story of Hanukkah commemorates and celebrates a time of rebuilding and reconsecration of Jewish life after a time of war; after destruction of villages, synagogues and people trying to live good lives. In 2018, after the desecration and violence of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States of America, the killing of men and women, grandmothers, brothers with developmental disabilities, Jews only because they are Jews...we need a new reconsecration, a new vigilance against hate and violence a new lighting of candles and educating of minds in our country that has so critically lost its way. May the coming year be a year of rebuilding and redemption and a making of new miracles for our new world. #menorah #hanukkahlights #hannukah #hanukkah #nesgadolhayasham #candles #friedart #dailydrawing #hanukkasameach #hannukah2018 #abstracted #treeoflifesynagogue #synagogue #rebuilding #miracle https://www.instagram.com/p/BrLHp9PBjFN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m8n2ulf29cb4
