Oy, Chanikah! Festival of Lights Celebration

Mark has been fine tuning this lively holiday experience over the course of 40 years and now you can enjoy the virtual version with us! Mark will have his guitar on hand and a stellar Hanukkah song playlist for everyone to join in on or just listen. On this last day of the eight-day holiday, we’ll light candles and commemorate the liberation and re-dedication of the Temple. 

Mark Levy has performed and taught for 4 decades at Bay Area temples, synagogues, JCCs, Lehrhaus Judaica, Workmen’s Circle, and other Jewish groups. He has appeared throughout the country and abroad both as a singer and as a lecturer who specializes in older Judaic folk music in Yiddish, Hebrew, and Ladino, Klezmer history and theory and Jewish music history in general. He has performed for Yeshiva University Sephardic Department’s Semana Sepharad in New York and as a cantorial soloist in California. He released a fourth album of Jewish music entitled Bin Ikh Mir A Shnayderl: Yiddish Work Songs, in commemoration of the 100th birthday of Workmen’s Circle, a fraternal order of Jewish workers and their families.
