About this listen

On the first night of Hanukkah, a weary traveler named Hershel of Ostropol eagerly approaches a village where plenty of latkes and merriment should warm him. But when he arrives, not a single candle is lit. A band of frightful goblins has taken over the synagogue, and the villagers cannot celebrate at all! Hershel vows to help them. But can one man alone stand up to the goblins, save Hanukkah, and live to tell the tale?

Shorter than it appears

This is not a 45min story; the story is repeated twice, once with page turning chimes for reading along. It was cute - and much shorter than expected.

A Fun Book for Kids of all Beliefs

This was a delightful story. It was fun and adventurous. The main character decides to trick the goblins who have taken over the Synagogue so that people can celebrate Hanukkah again. He does so by using his wits.

We are not a Jewish family but after enjoying the story it gave my daughter a chance to ask questions about other holidays besides the ones we celebrate.

The story is only half as long as advertised. The story is read twice, the second time with page turning chimes.

Eric Kimmel was a great choice for narrator. His voice suited the role perfectly.
