I own both this VHS & the matching CD. I got it last year. I esecially love the Boston Community Gospel Choir singing Psalm 27 (The Lord is my strength and my salvation. Whom shall I fear ?) Its a joyful video concert experience, as is the CD. This will be an experience that you will want to make a tradition in your family every Chanukah. If you buy the VHS be sure to buy the CD as the CD has some selections not present on the VHS. May you be blessed as you watch and listen to this soul stirring and joyful concert. Shalom and Happy Chanukah !

What an ecelectic feast of Hanukkah music! There's something for everybody here, from traditional klezmer to a Motown Doo-Wop rendition of the Dreidel song. Not to mention a Swing trio, a Judeo-Spanish number, a Gospel-style choir, and a really funky one-man band made out of junk! Plus you'll learn how to make latkes properly, with the most important secret ingredient: Yiddische humor. Theodore Bikel narrates the show, and the songs are all subtitled for non-linguists. A fun video with great music. (If you want the music only, get the CD of the same title.)
