Please join us to view the film Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas

It is well-known that White Christmas was written by Irving Berlin who was Jewish. What is less well-known is how many other Christmas songs were written by Jewish writers: The Christmas Song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Silver Bells, Winter Wonderland, I’ll Be Home for Christmas and more. While Jewish people made up only about three percent of North America’s population around 1950, Jewish songwriters created more than 50 percent of the Christmas classics.
