How to Be a Jew ... at Christmas
Our first episode tackles the ultimate assimilation holiday and the music that goes with it. We are joined by musician Peter Himmelman.
Hosted by Courtney Hazlett, Rabbi Diana Fersko, and Josh Kross, each episode takes a look at a current cultural topic and what it means for us as Jews, and how we react to it because we are Jews.
This year, the first night of Hanukkah falls on Christmas, so we are talking about how each of us, and Jews in general, relate to the most famous Christian holiday, and how some customs might find their way into our own lives. We are joined by musician Peter Himmelman to discuss his view on the relationship between music, holidays, and spiritual practice.
