Hanukkah

That’s the familiar theme from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker,” dancing to the sound of the Shirim Klezmer Orchestra on a CD called The Golden Dreydl.

That’s the traditional Hasidic song, “In the Window,” each of the verses of which represent the lighting of one of candles for the eight days of Hanukkah, the Jewish Feast of Light, which begins today.

Hanukkah begins tomorrow, and Barry Stewart Mann has a story for us today to mark the holiday.

Koren Stembridge guides us on a virtual tour of the holidays.
