Do you remember being bounced on your bubbe’s knee as she sang the popular Yiddish song “Bei Mir Bistu Shein” (“To Me You're Beautiful”)? Or holding hands with your zayde as the two of you danced in a circle and he delivered that standard, “Abi gezunt” (“As long as you're healthy”)? Or your mother crooning that beautiful lullaby, “Rozhinkes mit Mandlen” (“Raisins and Almonds”)? Perhaps you are the one sharing these traditions now with your children or grandchildren.

We can relive all those special memories when the Jewish Home’s annual Chanukah show takes us “Back to Our Roots.” Join the cast in the chorus of chestnuts such as “Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah” and “Mi Y'malel” (“Who Can Retell”). Put your hands together for the various musicians, songsters, and soloists when they perform their pieces in English, Yiddish and Hebrew at this concert-style community show on Sunday, December 21, 2:00 p.m. in the Home’s Lynne & Roy Frank Family Lounge.

We look forward to welcoming you back to your roots on this occasion because, when you’re at our Home, you’re our family.
