F
aster Than a Speeding Latke
... It's ... Menorah Man!"
Menorah Man, a member of
the Jewish Hero Corps, was a Jewish
superhero whose mission was to defend
the collective memory of the Jewish
people. With the ability to grow eight
arms and roast his enemies with his 40
fingers, Menorah Man also had loyal
sidekicks: Minyan Man, Dreidel Maidel,
Matzah Woman, Kipa Kid, Shabbas
Queen and Magen David.
His creator, Alan Oirich, drafted the
idea for the Jewish Hero Corps when he
was 8 years old after reading public ser-
vice announcements that had appeared
in comic books four decades earlier.
Originally debuted in 1996, the Jewish
Hero Corps began their fight against
their adversaries, the "Fobots," which
were robots programmed to erase Jewish
some violence — though not too
ble — in the "comic book," whic
parents should consider before al
ing younger children to view.) Th
include a puzzle and a game in
which players are challenged to
copy a tune played by the Forge
Me-Bots. Oooh, it's so much fun t
hear the delightfully chilling laugh
when you lose.
Will theJewish Hero Corps no
through? I'll never tell.
