Despite their differences in shapes, sizes, and colors, the ingredients in a salad work together to create a healthy meal. Oni and the Kingdom of Onion teaches respect, tolerance, diversity, caring, and sharing. Rabbi Marc Rubenstein focuses on the main character of Oni, an onion. Oni’s vegetable friends in the refrigerator talk to one another about how people fight and sometimes can't get along before talking about the origins of the first Hanukkah and the importance of religious history.
Oni and the Kingdom of Onion is the first children’s book to address the accurate historical truth of the first Hanukkah. Children love and identify with Oni and parents appreciate that the story stresses healthy eating and core values. Through Oni’s story, children are encouraged to be accepting of others and work towards common goals, all while learning about an important religious holiday. Children and parents alike enjoy learning about Oni, a remarkable onion, and how in a divided world, we can all come together as one.
Rabbi Marc Rubenstein is a pioneer in interfaith marriages and a distinguished Hebrew scholar. He studied at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem before obtaining his bachelor's degree in religion and history studies at American University in Washington DC. He received his rabbinical training at the Academy for Jewish Religion in New York City. He is the author of the novel Weddings by the Glass. Over the course of a 40-year career, he has officiated at over 3,000 weddings, each of them as unique and special as a couple. He is also served as teacher and principal at various Hebrew schools. Rabbi Marc lives in Temecula, California, famous for its fertile wine growing valleys adjacent to Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties. Hannah Miller, 14 years old, is a very talented and award-winning young artist with aspirations to become a professional illustrator. She lives in Irvine, California. Tamra Gerard was raised in Southern California and was introduced to the arts by her mother who would often take her to museums, street fairs, and galleries exposing her to a broad spectrum of art. At age six, Tamra’s painting “Dog with Pink Eyes” was accepted into the Laguna Arts Festival in Laguna Beach, California. In 1985 she received an art degree from Cal State University Fullerton. Today, Tamra is a commissioned oil painter specializing in animal portraits, award-winning graphic designer, and muralist with a passion for the oil medium. Painting has become a large part of her everyday life and she infuses it into graphic design as much as possible. Tamra lives in the Temecula, CA area, specifically Murrieta, California.
