Hanukkah music for grown-ups

Everyone loves the traditional Hanukkah songs we all learned in childhood. We teach these songs to our children and our grandchildren. L’dor v’dor.
Today we highlight an album that encourages us to experience Hanukkah as an adult. Embracing the mood and sounds of Swing and Jazz era music, Kenny Ellis has created a truly one-of-a-kind album.
The album includes many old favorites and two wonderful medleys that evoke an upbeat Post WW2 vibe. This is Hanukkah music as you have never heard it before.
Thanksgivukkah 2013

The last time it happened was in 1888. Chanukah and Thanksgiving…..at the same time!
Some might call it “Thanksgivukkah.” But whatever you call it, you can be sure that it won’t happen again for tens of thousands of years to come.
This year American Jews may be enjoying crispy, hot latkes with their Thanksgiving turkey. Sounds like a delicious combo to me. Yummmm.
Yet, despite this year’s rare opportunity to celebrate a double dose of survival and gratitude, some things will always remain the same. The Story of Chanukah reaches back in time way past the struggling Pilgrims on New England’s rocky coast. It reaches back to 167 BCE when the Syrian king Antiochus desecrated the Temple and outlawed Jewish practices. The five sons of the Jewish priest, Mattithius, were incited to revolt. Chanukah celebrates their victory and the miracle of the light that lasted for eight days during the Temple’s re-dedication.
Chanukah music for everyone

Chanukah celebrations are joyous occasions with lots of holiday gifts, decorations and parties.
The eight-day festival of Chanukah retells a story about hope, the importance of maintaining Jewish traditions, and the symbolic power of light.
