Golem Loves Latkes

A Tasty Hanukkah Tale

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 4
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

How should you eat your latkes?

In Shmoozeville, a town passionately divided over whether latkes should be eaten with apple sauce or sour cream, the young main character brings a golem to life, and fun and zany chaos ensues. Golem is not your stereotypical golem—he’s big, loveable, and very polite. And, Golem is a foodie! This is a story about freedom—the freedom to celebrate your religion the way that you choose and the freedom to eat latkes with the topping (or toppings!) of your choice.
