Playing Dreidel with Judah Maccabee

A play in eight scenes, written by Edward Einhorn. A modern boy finds Judah Maccabee in an abandoned room that exists both in his own temple and the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. A celebration of both Hanukkah and its ancient origins, told with gentle humor.

The book includes the original script, an introduction by the author, an essay about the history of Judah Maccabee, and a study guide for those who want to use the book as a teaching tool.  The book is appropriate for both children and adults—it can be read as a play, a midrash (a form of storytelling that explores the ideas contained in ancient texts), or as an educational supplement.
