Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas
An offbeat, irreverent musical documentary that tells the story of a group of Jewish songwriters, including Irving Berlin, Mel TormĂ©, Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, Gloria Shayne Baker and Johnny Marks, who wrote the soundtrack to Christianityâs most musical holiday. Itâs an amazing tale of immigrant outsiders who became irreplaceable players in pop cultureâs mainstream â a generation of songwriters who found in Christmas the perfect holiday in which to imagine a better world, and for at least one day a year, make us believe.
