Debbie Friedman - Hanukkah Tales & Tunes / Miracles & Wonders
Celebrate Hanukkah with song, story, and puppetry. This 159-minute DVD  features a 30-minute video program and an audio-only program by Debbie Friedman.   In the video portion, "Hanukkah Tales & Tunes," K.J. the puppet wants to learn  about Hanukkah. K.J.'s human friends introduce him to the stories of Antiocus  Epiphanes, the miracle of the holy oil, and the dreidel through songs like  "Miracles Aren't Just Magic," an enactment of "Galya and the Goblin," and  heavily choreographed dances. Dan Crow and Fred Sokolow perform "The Dreidel  Song" and Caren Glasser sings a "Hanukkah Medley." Debbie Friedman's "Miracles  and Wonders: A Hanukkah Musical" and "A Purim Musical" (previously released onCD) comprise the audio portion  of the DVD. Friedman's pure voice is pleasing and her music and lyrics bring  Hanukkah traditions to life. The "Purim Musical" consists of songs written from  the points of view of five major Purim figures. This DVD is both entertaining  and educational. (Ages 3 to 8)--Tami Horiuchi
