A Season of Miracles

Sammy Itzkowitz was born on Christmas in a hole in the ground, under the home of a brave Polish family who hid his Jewish family from the Nazis.


After coming to Brooklyn at war's end, Sammy awaits with eager anticipation the arrival of the holidays: his birthday, Hanukkah and Christmas.  He is dismayed to discover what he sees as indifference to the true meaning of Christmas, and ignorance of Hanukkah in America.


After a frustrating incident at school, he stages a shocking protest to make people focus on his favorite time of the year for the real reasons the holidays exist.  He becomes a little boy on a moral crusade.


Only an intervention by his favorite Brooklyn Dodger hero can possibly save the day.
