Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas

This unconventional and quirky musical documentary narrates the tale of a group of Jewish composers, such as Irving Berlin, Mel Tormé, Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, Gloria Shayne Baker, and Johnny Marks, who crafted the musical backdrop for Christianity’s most melodious holiday. It’s a remarkable story of immigrant outsiders who transformed into indispensable figures within mainstream pop culture. This generation of songwriters discovered in Christmas an ideal occasion to envision a better world and, for at least one day each year, inspire us to believe in it.
