About the Music

The age-old joke that “all the best Christmas songs were written by Jews” inspired Jacob to take that same musical style Americans hold close when the weather gets cold, and infuse his original melodies and lyrics with Jewish cultural themes: light, perseverance, miracles, and of course latkes and dreidels. This is true American holiday music in the style of Frank Sinatra and Carol King.
