to my two year old son Amitai. The first page showed family and friends at a party eating treats like latkes (potato Pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly filled sugar dusted pastries). All of the kids were playing dreidle and winning gelt (chocolatre filled coins). The next page showed the Maccabees fighting the Greek soldiers. It immediately brought me back to performing in San Francisco Ballet’s production of Nutcracker as a child. I thought, “ Why hasn’t anyone made the connection with these stories before?” The Nutcracker is a beloved holiday story and piece of music. Why isn’t there a Jewish version that tells the story of Hannukah? This also got me thinking why has there never been a production of the Nutcracker that has authentic cultural dance forms choreographed to the diverse musical themes of the second act? Well there is now, and you can be a part of it. Katy Alaniz Rous Director, World Dance Fusion & The Jewish Nutcracker
