Win Free Tickets to “Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins” at the Minnesota Jewish Theatre
The Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company (MJTC) is bringing back its hit holiday show Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins, the winner of a 2009 Ivey award for the design and creation of its goblin puppets. The show opens this Saturday, December 5th and runs through December 22nd.
TC Jewfolk readers get a special discount to see the show, and one lucky reader gets a free pair of tickets.
The play Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins, written by Shari Aronson, and based on the book by Eric A. Kimmel, premiereed in December 2008 at MJTC.
The story follows Hershel of Ostropol who has been walking long and hard with growing anticipation for the Hanukkah holiday. Tired and hungry, he imagines the smell of latkes and the bright lights of the menorah. But when Hershel arrives in Helmsbergville, the village is silent. Goblins have been preventing Hanukkah in Helmsbergville for years. Can this visitor help bring Hanukkah back? Enlisted by the townspeople, Hershel agrees to spend eight nights in the old synagogue to try to defeat the goblins.

My favorite Hanukkah tradition is to light the menorah and sing draidel, draidel, dreidel…I made it out if clay.
