Mrs. Maccabee's Miracle
The Maccabee brothers are always losing their things—cloaks, scrolls and spinning tops. It’s a good thing their mom is around to help find the missing items.
But, uh-oh. When the Maccabees defeat the Greek army and take back the Temple, the brothers can’t remember where they last saw the jug of oil to light the menorah.
What will their mom say?
