Pre-Hanukkah with Alexander Estis and Trio Scho
Christmas is the only day in the world on which all Christians celebrate a Jew's birthday. But what about Jews? Is it permissible to light Advent candles for the Festival of Lights? Or will that immediately drive the whole family crazy?

Is a Jew who celebrates Christmas instead of Hanukkah still a Jew? Is St. Nicholas allowed to wear sidelocks? Was the Christ Child circumcised? Why is speaking Yiddish like making love? When is it "oy vey" and when is it "oy oy"? Why are divided tsars double tsars? Why do you need ezzes precisely when you think you don't need them? And what is the difference between "scha!" and "sho"?
If you want to know all of this, you'll get answers that might even be almost correct. Because here, people talk straight, even when they're talking trash.
Celebrate the Festival of Lights and Rabbi Jesus' birthday together:
Alexander Estis will read from his linguistically acrobatic satires accompanied by Hanukkah songs from Jewish, Ukrainian, Soviet, and German traditions, virtuosically interpreted by the Berlin-Ukrainian-Russian trio Scho.
