“The Magic Menorah”
was created especially for
Susie Que of Lake Wales, Florida
at the age of

With Love From,
Cindy & Daddy

Suzi
Que woke up early on a cold December morning in
Lake Wales, Florida. She was excited about the day to come.
She knew that
this evening would mark the beginning of Hanukkah, her favorite holiday of the
year.
Suzi loved Hanukkah. She loved the way
her family prepared for it. There
were decorations to be hung, latkes to be made, presents to be wrapped and
menorahs to be polished.
Suzi
went into the kitchen to help Cindy with the
preparations. "Suzi," said
Cindy, "it's time for you to go to the attic and
get the decorations."
Suzi was proud of her special job. Each year
she
brought the decorations down from the attic and helped
Cindy and Danny place them around the house.
There were long strands
of shiny blue and silver stars and huge colored banners that said, "HAPPY
HANUKKAH." There were dreidels of all shapes and sizes and lots of menorahs.
Now, as
Suzi jumped up the stairs to the attic,
she
could hardly wait to begin her task. When
she reached the attic, she went right
to the boxes of decorations and started to make her choices.
She started to think about the
evening and all of the presents she would receive.
Suzi said out loud, "I can hardly wait to open my presents. I hope
Cindy remembers that toy I wanted."
"But there is more to Hanukkah
than just receiving presents," a voice answered back.
Suzi
turned around to see where the voice came from, but there was no one there. "Who
said that, and where are you?" Suzi asked with
great surprise.
"Over here, in the corner."
the voice replied. "Look under the blue cloth."
Suzi went to the corner, pulled back the cloth and found the most beautiful menorah she had ever seen. It was so different from the other menorahs in the house.
This menorah was silver, and
it sat on a rounded base. It stretched upwards like a totem pole before it
branched out into nine candle holders, which were rounded like tiny cups.
The menorah spoke again. "I am
a magic menorah, Suzi Que. I have chosen to
speak to you about the true meaning of Hanukkah."
"It is a gift to keep and
treasure and one that you must pass on to your own children. Sit down and listen
as I share this story with you."
Suzi
sat down and listened as the magic menorah began its story.
"Long ago, when Israel was
called Palestine, the Jewish people lived under the rule of a Syrian king named
Antiochus. This king prayed to idols and wanted the Jews to do the same."
"He passed laws forbidding the
practice of Judaism. Antiochus felt he could force the Jews to give up God and
their religion."
"As a final blow, he sent his
army to destroy the holy Temple in Jerusalem. He thought that he could break
the Jewish spirit."
"But the Jews, who loved their
God and their freedom, refused to give in to Antiochus. They fought back against
overwhelming odds and reclaimed what was rightfully theirs."
"These freedom-fighters,
called the Maccabees, restored the holy Temple. They re-lit the great Menorah
with only a small flask of holy oil. The oil lasted for eight long days."
"Since that time, we celebrate
eight days of Hanukkah to remember the 'Lights of Freedom'."
With these words, the magic
menorah fell silent. Suzi picked up the menorah
and took it down to the kitchen.
Before
Suzi could say anything,
Cindy said, "Suzi,
you found my silver menorah. My parents brought it back from Israel as a
Hanukkah gift when I was about your age. It is very special to me. Let's use it
tonight." Suzi happily agreed.
And that evening, as the first
candle was lit, Suzi and
Cindy smiled curious little smiles.
They shared a special secret, the secret of the magic menorah.
