SUMMARY:Hanukkah Kick Off with Maurice Elias and his holiday book "Hamantaschen for Hanukkah?!: A Tale of the Wise People of Chelm"
DESCRIPTION:Continuing our holiday kickoff\, we are so happy to have Maurice Elias joining us on Sunday\, November 22nd at 1:00 for his wonderful Hanukkah story Hamantaschen for Hanukkah?!: A Tale of the Wise People of Chelm. This delightful picture book brings a classic Chelm folktale to life through humor\, heart\, and a joyful Jewish holiday mix-up. The story celebrates tradition\, family\, laughter\, and the importance of trusting your own understanding. We hope you can be a part of this special event.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Maurice Elias\n\n\n\nMaurice J. Elias is a Professor of Psychology at Rutgers University and a contributing faculty member in Jewish Studies. His work centers on promoting joy\, resilience\, and emotional intelligence in children and families. He is the co-author of Emotionally Intelligent Parenting\, Talking Treasure\, and The Joys & Oys of Parenting and has written more than a dozen books for parents and educators. He and his wife live in Highland Park\, New Jersey\, close to their two daughters and three grandchildren. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n				\n					\n					\n					Hamantaschen for Hanukkah?!: A Tale of the Wise People of Chelm Maurice EliasAges 4-8 Event Date: Nov. 22\, 2026 (CBW)\n				\n				$18.95\n				\n				Add to cart\n			\n\n\n\n\nAbout Hamantaschen for Hanukkah?!: A Tale of the Wise People of Chelm\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen a letter arrives from the chief rabbi wishing the town a happy Purim\, the grown-ups never stop to question why the message has arrived during Hanukkah. Soon\, the townspeople are baking hamantaschen\, sewing costumes\, and enthusiastically planning Purim festivities — despite the menorahs already glowing in their windows.+\n\n\n\n\nOnly Shmendrick and Mushka\, the siblings\, recognize the mistake. As the adults argue with absolute certainty\, the children quietly choose to honor the holiday they know is correct while still embracing the joy\, laughter\, and togetherness surrounding them. \n\n\n\nRooted in the beloved Jewish folklore tradition of Chelm\, the legendary village where adults are famously foolish and children often know best\, Hamantaschen for Hanukkah?! offers young readers a warm and funny story about tradition\, critical thinking\, and trusting their own understanding.
