It’s Kislev! That means time for Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. We’ll tell you the story, and the history of why the story itself is told the way it is. And we kibitz with Louisville Orchestra Music Director Teddy Abrams about Jewish composers’ place in the American music tradition. Teddy tries to trick us into some free therapy [disclaimer: we are rabbis, not therapists!] and we commiserate over his hit Christmas single that never was. “I think seven people have heard it,” he says. Listen to our Kislev episode and join their numbers!
