Today we’ve added a variety of items to our catalog relating to Chanukah, which begins this evening!
Each of these texts is a story by a Victorian Jewish writer that features Chanukah in some way. We’ve added a Chanukah page to the site giving some context to these works as well as a bibliography, copied below.
