In this eclectic recording, Theodore Bikel tells the story of Chanukkah with uplifting musical selections written by Jews from every part of the world, ranging from Sephardic songs of the 15th-century to German-Jewish songs of the 19th-century, to contemporary songs like "Rock of Ages" and "I Had A Little Dreidel". The Chanukkah Story is especially popular among children who tend to memorize the songs!

New York Time's Critics' Choice: Favorite Holiday Recordings

"This is a rich tapestry of sacred and secular fare, sung with subtlety and fervor, accompanied by an ensemble of old and new instruments and narrated, with his inimitable brand of quiet authority, by Theodore Bikel." The Pittsburgh Press
