journal-like narrative describes how
Ginsburg and his research partner,
who arrived in Antarctica on the
first night of Chanukah, use rub-
ber dry suits to emerge under the
treacherous waters.
While collecting sea urchins and
starfish for his research, Ginsburg
is inspired suddenly to create a
menorah on the sea floor using the
neon-like sea urchins and starfish.
Captured on film, and reproduced
in the book, the glowing menorah
is a sparkling and inspiring wonder.
Notes at the book's end explain
that sea urchins are invertebrates
and have no central nervous sys-
tem. During Ginsburg's menorah
assembly, readers are reassured that
no animals were harmed.
