JewishGen Chanukah Companion 2025/5786

We are pleased to share this JewishGen Chanukah Companion 2025/5786, which is a small collection of historical and inspirational vignettes about Chanukah that are contained in Yizkor Books that JewishGen has translated. We hope that anyone reading this material will gain a better, deeper and more personal understanding of the lives our ancestors lived - which were very similar to that of our own.

As we celebrate Chanukah, we hope you will join us by visiting our Museum in NY, and utilizing the tremendous resources on the JewishGen website.
