The Jazzukah Project is an ensemble of artists who have reimagined traditional Hanukkah songs with a jazz beat — like Moaz Tzur as a slow jam, I Have a Little Dreidel with some bebop hop — in addition to having some original pieces. To learn more about Jazzukah and the music they perform, go to https://www.jazzukkah.com.
Join us on the first night of Hanukkah for an evening of music, light, and community! This year, we’re shining a new light with a jazzy Hanukkah concert “Jazzukkah!” Immerse yourself in the spirit of Hanukkah through a unique musical fusion that blends beloved traditional melodies with rich harmonies and rhythms, creating an experience that will elevate your soul, touch your heart, and unify our spirits.
As the concert unfolds, we’ll share the beauty of a candle-lighting ceremony, uniting us in this meaningful tradition. After the final notes fade, the celebration continues in the Grand Ballroom with a light dinner of delicious latkes, sufganiyot, and other Hanukkah treats. It’s a chance to connect with friends and family, share laughter, and bask in the warmth of community. This Hanukkah, we also dedicate our celebration to our teachers, those who embody the spirit of the shamash as helpers and lights of inspiration and growth in our daily lives.
