The Vanishing Flame
A Chanukah Story of Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibuz, Grandson of the Baal Shem Tov · Ages 6–10
It is the first night of Chanukah in Mezhibuz, and a snowstorm is blowing. Rabbi Baruch, the grandson of the Baal Shem Tov, lights the menorah. The chassidim sing Chanukah songs — and then the little flame jumps up and is gone. “Do not light it again,” says the Rebbe. “It will come back.” Far away in the dark forest, a chassid is lost and in trouble. He wanted so much to be with his Rebbe for the Chanukah lights. Then he sees a small light on the road in front of him. A true chassidic Chanukah story, told through the eyes of young Yossele, in bright, warm comic art, with a Words to Know glossary and a page for parents. In English and in Portuguese. Read it together by the menorah, or give it as a Chanukah gift.
