This December, take a break from dreidel spinning, gelt winning, and latke eating to experience the
joy of Chanukah. When you fall in love during the Festival of Lights, the world
burns a whole lot brighter.
It’s definitely not love at first sight for Amanda and her cute but mysterious new neighbor, Ben. Can a Chanukah miracle show them that getting off on the wrong foot doesn’t mean they can’t walk the same road?
joy of Chanukah. When you fall in love during the Festival of Lights, the world
burns a whole lot brighter.
It’s definitely not love at first sight for Amanda and her cute but mysterious new neighbor, Ben. Can a Chanukah miracle show them that getting off on the wrong foot doesn’t mean they can’t walk the same road?
Lawyers in love, Shari Cohen and Evan Sonntag are happy together. But in a moment of doubt, he pushes her away-then soon realizes he made a huge mistake. To win her back, it might take something like a Chanukah miracle.
When impulsive interior designer Molly Baker-Stein barges into Jon Adelman’s apartment and his life intent on planning the best Chanukah party their building has ever seen, neither expects that together, they just might discover a Home for Hannukah.
All Tamar Jacobs expected from her Israel vacation was time to hang out with one of her besties and to act like a tourist, cheesy t-shirt and all, in her two favorite cities. She definitely was not expecting to fall for Avi Levinson, a handsome soldier who’s more than she ever dreamed.

Miracle by Megan
Hart –
Ben is Amanda’s new neighbor. They meet when Amanda is
mistakenly delivered a package that is for Ben. Ben has just recently moved to
town and is a new tenant in her building. Ben and Amanda start spending time
together and share things about themselves and like each other.
Ben has a past which he is reluctant to talk about. When he gets
an unexpected visit from his father, Ben explains everything to Amanda. Ben
also says that he understands if Amanda doesn’t want to see him anymore.
I love what Amanda tells Ben. She says that sometimes when
there are things you don’t think you can handle, you find that you can. That
the miracle was meeting the right person at the right time that helped.
A Dose of Gelt by
Jennifer Gracen –
Evan and Shari have a great relationship. They have been
together for seven months and spend practically every day together. When Evan
brings Shari to meet his family for Chanukah, there is tension caused by them.
When his family starts asking if he and Shari will get
married, Evan gets cold feet and upset at the family. Evan is a divorce lawyer
and it has made him leery of marriage. Not meaning to, since his family has upset
him, Evan pushes Shari away and upsets her. Evan tells Shari they need time
apart and he needs to assess their relationship. Shari gets upset and tells
Evan she needs space also. During a long week apart, they realize how much they
miss each other. Evan even shows Shari through gifts how much she means to him.
With help from her father, Shari realizes she also made
mistakes with how she handled things. Evan travels to Shari’s parent’s house.
He wants to discuss what had happened in person. They reconcile and Evan tells
Shari that what they have and are going to have is their Chanukah miracle.
A Home for
Chanukah by Stacey Agdern-
Molly Baker-Stein is planning a holiday party for Chanukah
in the building where she lives. One day she knocks on the door of her neighbor
Jon Adelman to ask for help with the planning. Since Jon has a car and Holly
doesn’t, he takes her to the different places they need to get things for the
party. They start to spend more time together and find they have feelings for
one another.
Molly and Jon have a lot of fun together listening to music
and going on errands for the party together. They have a very nice dinner at
Holly’s Uncle Abe’s deli one night, as well as a trip to Jon’s sister’s bakery.
Jon travels a lot with his job working for a new Jewish
music company. His apartment isn’t really furnished like others would. Jon even says that it looks like a fraternity
house since there isn’t much more than a futon. While Jon is away on one of his
work trips, Molly surprises him by decorating his apartment. When Jon sees the
apartment he gets upset that it was changed without him knowing.
After calming down, Jon talks to Uncle Abe about what
happened. Uncle Abe makes Jon realize that Molly did what she did out of love.
That she made Jon a home and he should show Molly how he appreciates her and
what she did, which he does.
All I Got by KK
Hendin –
Tamar is on a trip to Israel during a break from college in
New York. On the first day she is there,
she meets Avi.
Avi is an Israeli soldier that she meets at the bus stop.
The two of them start talking and find they have a few things in common, including
a friend. Since Tamar will only be in Israel a few weeks, Avi wants to spend
time with her. They go on a trip and look at shirts with interesting sayings on
them.
Tamar and Avi find that they think about each other a lot
and are interested in each other, but Tamar has to go home early because of the
weather. Avi goes to New York to see
Tamar. He tells her that he has a new job and would like to marry her. This isn’t
out of the ordinary since they are both very religious. Sometimes you just know
right away that this is the person you want to be with, no matter how long you
have known each other.
Although each story is only a few chapters long, they are
light reads which convey emotions in their own way.
Whether you celebrate
Chanukah or not, I would strongly recommend this book!!
