For Hannukah — Mama Doni’s Jewish Holiday Party

Posted on November 3, 2013 at 3:54 pm

Hannukah is coming early this year!  Get the family ready to celebrate with the first DVD from Mama Doni, with a warm and tuneful introduction to Hannukah, Passover, and Shabbat.  Mama Doni sings and dances through the holidays, including a bluegrass “Chanukah Oh Chanukah” medley sing-along and matzoh, latke, and challah-making demonstrations.  This exciting new soundtrack features 12 original acoustic versions of classic Jewish favorites by Doni Zasloff-Thomas and guitarist Eric Lindberg.
