 'The Maccabee of Miami Beach' by Thane Rosenbaum
A down-and-out retiree gets a dramatic chance at fame — though maybe not fortune —will he shine in the midst of the lights of Miami?  Miami, a city of bright light full of retirees, from New York and beyond.  This story is how one man got his final act of liberation.

Rosenbaum is also the author of the novel The Golems of Gotham.

Happy Chanukah, listen to the Spinning Top by Shalom Alechiem!
I love Shalom Aleichem because he captures the beautiful and ugliness of the human condition; or the "Jewish Human Condition".   His stories were the basis for Fiddler on the Roof.  Enjoy this story about Chanukah and the dreidel where betting is allowed and even holy  on those eight crazy nights.
