BASINIA SHULMAN

Musical Khanuka

This year we will celebrate Hanukkah with a big concert "Let there be Light!", because Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday of light and miracle.

The history of the holiday: Once upon a time, in the II century BC, the Jews wanted to cleanse the temple desecrated by enemies in Jerusalem. But they found only one jug of "pure" oil for lamps, which would be enough for only one day. A miracle happened, and the lamp burned for 8 days. During this time, the believers managed to clean the temple and prepare new oil. In the traditions of the holiday, light one candle for eight days in a row, eat sweet donuts and enjoy the miracle of life.

The concert program will feature famous works by great composers with Jewish roots, as well as works dedicated to the Jewish theme.
