The Melancholy Menorah
by Libi Astaire
Once again there’s trouble afoot in Regency London’s Jewish community, as they get ready for Chanukah – and more mystery.
It’s a miracle! Or is it? When the members of London’s Great Synagogue decide to replace their old and battered menorah with one that’s newer and more elegant, the old menorah refuses to leave its spot on the Eastern Wall. But is this really a sign from Heaven, or a sign that some nefarious plot is afoot? It’s up to wealthy-widower-turned-sleuth Mr. Ezra Melamed to solve the mystery—and solve it before Chanukah begins.
This ebook edition contains both the novella “The Melancholy Menorah” and the essay “A Small History of London’s Great Synagogue.”
