Join Brooklyn born singer/multi-instrumentalist Herman Berman for a musical celebration of Hanukkah like you’ve never heard before. In this short concert program Berman will perform his epic 2019 Hanukkah album, The Menorah: It’s Lit. In between some of the tunes Berman, along with NMAJH public programs manager and musician Dan Samuels, will take a few minutes to talk about Herman’s life story, as well as his early musical influences from his parents to the Church next door to where he grew up, as well as the masters (of Jewish Parody and All-around Schtick) such as Mickey Katz, Mel Brooks, the Marx Brothers and more.
