Description

A wonderful tale for young readers about two devils that fly over the town of Brisk on a Hanukkah night. At one house, the devils turn the children’s dreidels into creatures with arms & legs that begin to dance. At the next house they make the latkes rise from the pan & begin flying around the room. The devils continue to make trouble all over the town. Everyone runs to seek help from the rabbi, a wise & holy man. He is able to turn the tables on the devils & get them to provide Hanukkah gelt (coins) for the children & the poor. The rabbi shows that “Nothing is completely wicked. Sparks of holiness exist in all things. Even in devils & their mischief.” He does this by recognizing what is beautiful & delightful in their tricks & thus making them good. Illustrations.
