Contact: Libi Astaire libiasta...@gmail.com www.libiastaire.weebly.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Baal Shem Tov and Others Meet the eBook in 36 Candles: Chassidic Tales for Chanukah Jerusalem, Israel (November 2010) This year kindling the Chanukah lights will be a whole new story when the Baal Shem Tov, Rabbi Zusya of Hanipoli and others enter the age of the eBook with 36 Candles: Chassidic Tales for Chanukah, a retelling of thirty-six inspiring tales from the Chassidic and Mussar traditions by Libi Astaire - one tale for each candle that is lit during the eight days of the holiday. While some tales take place in the Eastern European shtetls of several hundred years ago and others are set during the Holocaust, each story has been specially chosen because of the way that it illuminates Chanukah's eternal message: Never despair! Miracles do happen. Light can be found when and where we least expect it. Libi Astaire is the author of the historical mystery The Disappearing Dowry (Zahav Press), recipient of a 2010 Sydney Taylor Notable Book Award, and Terra Incognita(Targum Press), a novel about modern-day descendents of Spain's crypto-Jews. In addition to being a regular contributor to the international Jewish weekly Mishpacha Magazine, she has written about Jewish history and spirituality for websites such asbreslev.co.il and aish.com. 36 Candles: Chassidic Tales for Chanukah is available for Kindle and Kindle-compatible ereaders at Amazon.com. It is available for Nook, Sony, and other devices atwww.smashwords.com. --- Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: hasaf...@osu.edu SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
