This Rabbi Kerry Olitzky Bundle includes 3 books:
THE LITTLEST CANDLE: A HANUKKAH STORY written with Rabbi Jesse Olitzky with illustrations by Jen Kostman. Little Flicker is always cheering his friends on with words of encouragement and support. But as the smallest candle in the box, why should he be chosen to be the shamash in the Hanukkah menorah? Isn't the job of lighting all the others candles too big for him? As it turns out, it's the size of your heart that matters, and in that department, Little Flicker is huge! This book's bright and quirky illustrations make it easy to imagine the possibility of a world where candles walk, talk, dance, and sing. Kids will love exploring the details of Little Flicker's life inside his cozy drawer. Book ships immediatley.
THE CANDY MAN MYSTERY with illustrations by Christinin Mattison-Ebert. In a synagogue, everyone plays an important role: the rabbi, the cantor, the volunteers, and the congregation. But when Mr. Sharansky, the much-loved Candy Man goes missing, Josh and Becky get to work to uncover the mystery. In the end, the kids find the Candy Man–-and so much more! Notes at the back of the book include a glossary and an opportunity to explore the Shema prayer. English, Hebrew, and transliterations as well as American Sign Language diagrams are provided to help young people interact more fully in the synagogue experience. Book ships immediatley.
