On 1000s Of Quality Toys
You Won’t Find Elsewhere!

(1997). In the 1990s, the A&E cable
station was known for literate, PBS-
type content. This episode (part of the
Mysteries of the Bible series) features
insight by Jewish religious scholars and
provides a concise, intelligent view of
the history of the Jewish revolt. Available
free on YouTube. Runs 45 minutes. Use
search box on YouTube and enter title in
first sentence above. So/so video quality.
When Hanukkah Harry Saved
Christmas is a very funny SNL skit
(1989) starring Jon Lovitz in the title
role. Harry fills in for a sick Santa (Phil
Hartman) and delivers toys to good little
gentile kids. Pulling his sled are donkeys
named Herschel, Schlomo and Moishe.
Runs about 8 minutes. It’s posted on the
NBC official site: Enter title above in any
search engine.
A number of people who went on to
work on the The Simpsons are behind
the very professional Bubbe’s Chanukah
(1989), which features Muppet-like pup-
pets who sometimes sing. Good for the
whole family. On YouTube. 42 minutes.
Also on YouTube: A professional group
has taken most of The Charlie Brown
Christmas Special and turned it Jewish via

dubbing in Jewish-themed dialogue and
adding one scene. Called Charlie Brown’s
Hanukkah, it is much cleverer and a bit
more risque than I expected. I won’t ruin
the surprises here, but some real thought
went into the jokes and changes in song
lyrics. About 6 minutes.
I can’t recommend Adam Sandler’s
Chanukah movie, 8 Crazy Nights, but I
can recommend re-listening to his four
“Chanukah Songs,” which tell which
celebs are Jewish. All are on YouTube.
Search for “Sandler Chanukah Songs”
and you’ll find all four. The Wikipedia
article “Chanukah Song” gives all the
names mentioned and corrects Sandler’s
errors. About 15 minutes, total.
Do listen to “Light One Candle,” a
Chanukah song written by Peter Yarrow
(the Jewish member of Peter, Paul and
Mary). It’s that rare thing: a catchy
modern Chanukah song. On YouTube:
Light One Candle (25th Anniversary
Concert). Also highly recommended —
Rachel Bloom (TV’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)
sings a sexy Jewish parody of “Santa
Baby” — “Chanukah Honey”).
Warning: The last song line is “R” rated.
On YouTube; about 3 minutes.
