Hanukkah begins at sundown this Friday. I became curious about what videos and DVDs we have here at the library for this holiday. And I did find a few. Most are for children but all have meaning. Even the Adam Sandler movie.

But after a few surprises - including the mysterious reason for Davey's bad attitude and the reappearance of his childhood sweetheart - Davey might just decide he has a reason or two to change his ways.
- Maccabees, the story of Hanukkah [6] -- Animated story of the Maccabees' clash with the Greek army and of the festival of lights which honors their victory and celebrates the rededication of the temple.
