The Yom Kippur story goes back in time to the birth of the Jewish Nation and the Giving of the Torah. Trouble began when the new nation thought their leader Moshe was gone. They were quickly convinced that worshiping a golden calf would keep them safe in the desert. They forgot what they had just heard at Har Sinai: not to worship anything besides Hashem. Moshe’s shocking action upon his return helped them realize their terrible mistake. But was it already too late to save the Jewish People? This captivating book retells how Moshe and the Jewish Nation were able to turn things around. Their sincere efforts to return to Hashem gave us the holiday of Yom Kippur forever, and the power to always make our connection to the One Above even better than before!
This story is followed by a 25-page supplement, “How To Celebrate” which sheds light on the laws and customs of the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.

As a mom of seven and a teacher in the field of Jewish education, Dassie searched for a accurate and beautiful book that tells the story of Chanukah. She could not find one. After much time and effort, she created one: If the Candles Could Speak, The Story of Chanukah! She first published it as a exciting BIG book. With the encouragement of her fans and with God's help, she didn't stop there. Along with her co-authors she created more books. Her goal is to share the history and meaning behind each Jewish holiday along with captivating, realistic illustrations. Her books provide children and their parents an enjoyable learning experience. Jewish Big Books are available in various sizes. The best part of creating her books is hearing how readers have enjoyed them. Love the books? Let her know!
This Chanukah book is the Best Chanukah book I have ever read! It tells the story in such a clear and meaningful way for both children and adults. The illustration is magnificent and truly brings the story to life in an incredible way. My favorite part is how the author ends the book, bringing the message of Chanukah to us today.
