Season 3, Episode 5: Hanukkah

Spin that dreidel, light the menorah, and grab some yummy latkes, because this week’s Hebrew School is all about Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights! Our kid contestant Malina plays three games all about Hanukkah: “Say My Name,” “Mah Zeh” (What Is This?), and “Prayer or Pop Song?” 

Our Hanukkah party also includes comedian Joel Chasnoff, Lenny Solomon and our house band Shlock Rock, and fourth and fifth graders from Beth Tikvah Congregation in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, who took part in our “Chochmat HaHamonim,” or “Wisdom of the Crowd” segment.

The fun doesn’t stop when the episode ends. The Jewish Education Project has created additional games and activities for families, as well as resources for educators to use our podcast in the classroom.

This episode also features original music by Kelsey MacDonald.
