For those keeping track, this is the
fifth annual installment of the Chanukah wrap-up feature. Is it a tradition yet?
MISHPACHA: CELEBRATES
Well, how about cantorials in the Carolinas? Two women singing and two men
playing guitar became the musical family that is Mishpacha, after coming
together to lead services in Raleigh, NC. In between a few Israeli favorites,
they present many Chanukah traditionals in Hebrew, English, Yiddish and Ladino,
plus newer songs by Debbie Friedman, Julie Silver, and eighteen. Especially fun
is the Beatles satire… yes, the one about "Eight Days." The tone is
light and airy, and the performances are by turns spirited and spiritual.
