Broadway and film star Theodore Bikel hosts this celebration of the rich cultural and musical traditions of the Jewish feast of Chanukah. Presented under the artistic direction of Hankus Netsky, founder and director of the renowned Klezmer Conservatory Band, the program features musicians from the New England Conservatory of Music and the Boston Community Gospel Choir. The music ranges from 1940s swing to traditional versions of well-known songs and prayers, children's songs and special arrangements. A highlight of the program is the preparation of "perfect" potato latkes by 83-year-old Yiddishist Chasia Segal. Cantor Morton Shames performs classic Moishe Oysher tunes and lights the Chanukah candles.
