Lights & Laughter: Joel ben Izzy Spins Hanukkah Tales

About this book

In this CD, award-winning travelling storyteller Joel ben Izzy recounts eight tales for the festival of light 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. The stories on this CD, recorded before a live audience, are woven together with music by The Kings of Klezmer, playing Klezmer versions of classical Hanukkah tunes. Because Joel tells all about the holiday, these stories are accessible to all, young or old, Jewish or not. These are stories you'll be listening to and retelling, long after the candles burn down.
