A Playlist for Hanukkah

((from my radio station))

Long considered a minor holiday in the Jewish calendar, Hanukkah has gained in significance in recent decades, and not just because, as is popularly believed, that Jews don’t want to feel left out at Christmastime. There has been a growing appreciation for the steadfastness of the Maccabees, and a recognition that all mid-winter holidays share the same primal need: to appreciate the miracle of civilization that makes it possible for us to have light, warmth and companionship during the most brutal and inhospitable season.

Music has always been an integral part of the holiday; enjoy this playlist while spinning a dreidel and enjoying your favorite fried food (use olive oil for maximum authenticity and flavor).
