What is Chanukah? Quotes

“So tell me, dear child, what is Chanukah?"   "Chanukah?[20]" Grishka repeats, and his shiny black eyes start darting up and down and back and forth like little mice. "Chanukah? Chanukah? Sechas... (Hold on...) Der Papashe, di Mamashe...der Papashe est...eats...what do you call them? Matzah and shaloch mones.[21] And the Mamasha swings a white rooster like that...and eats Jewish krepliks." Grishka points to his head, demonstrating how his mother performs the ritual of kapoires,[22] and then he licks his lips remembering Jewish kreplach.”
