Description
In this recording, which has been designated a Parents’ Choice Classic, Joel spins eight tales for the eight nights of the festival of light, all with his trademark warmth and humor. You’ll hear his wild rendition of the story of Hanukkah, the story of Luck vs. Wisdom and tales of Hanukkah in Chelm, the mythical Jewish village of fools. Recorded before a live audience, the tales are woven together with music by The Kings of Klezmer.
Because Joel tells all about the holiday, these stories are accessible to all, whether young and old, Jewish, not-Jewish or somewhere in between. These are stories you’ll be listening to and retelling, long after the candles have burned down.
