3.0 out of 5 stars
insubstantial, November 13, 2010
This review is from: How to Spell Chanukah and Other Holiday Dilemmas. (Hardcover)
A group of stories (mostly, I think, nonfictional) by a group of (mostly, I think, youngish and secular) Jewish writers about some of their Chanukah experiences. One or two of the stories are moving, one or two are humorous; most were just unmemorable. On the positive side, this book is an easy and (mostly) painless read- the sort of book that you could comfortably read if you were trapped on an airplane for two or three hours, but not exactly a life-changing experience.

How to Spell Chanukah, April 14, 2008
This review is from: How to Spell Chanukah and Other Holiday Dilemmas. (Hardcover)
After reading the original reviews of this book, it was ordered for our synagogue's library. Upon receipt of the book and reading most of it, our librarian found it quite inappropriate for our young adults. It is now hidden amongst our adult books (in an area few people use).
