LIGHT A CANDLE SERIES
HANNUKAH HOLIDAY SPIRIT YULE LOG

INTENTION

The goal of this project is to connect the Jewish Audience with their culture in the easiest way possible.

This 8 episode series, gives the Jewish audience and their families a convenient access of lighting a menorah while being exposed to the traditional symbols of the holiday:

  • Gelt (Gold Chocolate Coins)

  • Latkes

  • Dreidels

  • Sufganiot (Hannukah donuts)

AUDIENCE

In the US alone, the Jewish population is upward of 8 million Jews. Worldwide, there are upward of 20 million Jews.

When creating this program, we tailored it to the vast majority of this population. Both religious and secular Jews will enjoy this program. Since Hanukkah is not a “high holiday”, there is no restriction on using electronics, thus, the observant Jews are allowed to use their TV.

The Music is chosen carefully for the entire spectrum of Jews. It is new and fresh, but conservative enough to be considered “kosher” by all jews.

Nowadays, the young audience has become more disconnected from its roots more than ever. By bringing this program to their fingertips, it allows a connection to the community and to their childhood, something they are striving for.

CONTENT & MUSIC

According to the Hannukah tradition, Jews light the menorah on the window’s ledge at sunset. The family gathers around singing Hannukah songs while enjoying the soft light.

The series contain 8 episodes of 60 mins, one for each day of the holiday. Every episode has a well crafted playlist of young and much loved holidays songs in all music genres - blues, jazz, swing, reggae, etc.
