00:00:00There's no reason to be nervous.
00:00:20I'm not nervous.
00:00:21It's not about winning or losing.
00:00:22Yeah, you're absolutely right.
00:00:24It's about beating Jake Cohen.
00:00:26Nikki Roberts is going down.
00:00:28I don't understand this rivalry.
00:00:31Stand up straight, sweetheart.
00:00:32Your vest is pooching in the back.
00:00:34I'll leave it.
00:00:35You two used to be best friends.
00:00:37She spent so much time at our house, we could have claimed her on our taxes.
00:00:40Yeah, well, things change.
00:00:42He's changed.
00:00:43I mean, he was nice, but now he's a total...
00:00:45Before you finish that sentence, remember your father is a reverend.
00:00:49Jake turns everything into a competition.
00:00:51Student council, report cards.
00:00:53Well, no more.
00:00:54I'm going to win this talent contest.
00:00:56Nikki.
00:00:57It's a talent show.
00:00:59They're not giving out awards.
00:01:01That's okay.
00:01:02Just be sure to take a picture of his face when everyone's standing and cheering for me.
00:01:05I'll put that in my trophy case.
00:01:06Be sure to tell me the applause after I sing.
00:01:08That's how I'll be able to prove that I won.
00:01:10Nikki's next in Europe, Jakey.
00:01:12Grandma, could you not call me Jakey?
00:01:14It's a kid's name.
00:01:15I don't call me Grandma.
00:01:16It's an old lady's name.
00:01:18Wasn't that wonderful?
00:01:26So festive.
00:01:29Next up, we have a remarkable singer, the voice of an angel and a spirit to match.
00:01:38Please welcome Nikki Roberts.
00:01:42Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
00:02:06Let Earth receive her king.
00:02:12Let Earth receive her king.
00:02:16Let Earth receive her king.
00:02:20Oh, my God, it's okay.
00:02:50Good morning.
00:03:08Hi, Mom.
00:03:09Hey, Dad.
00:03:10Oh, look at this.
00:03:11I got the flyers for the Christmas Eve concert.
00:03:14Oh, they look fantastic.
00:03:16Paul, stop moving.
00:03:17I'm not moving.
00:03:18I'm holding sharp things.
00:03:19Are you sure that's the tone you want to take?
00:03:21What would I do without you?
00:03:22Oh, deliver your sermon in a bathroom?
00:03:25Nikki, did you pay the invoice for the...
00:03:26Yeah, went out yesterday.
00:03:28And the phone call...
00:03:29At 3 o'clock.
00:03:29What about...
00:03:30It's on your desk.
00:03:31Did you...
00:03:32I got nothing.
00:03:34I just want to see if you're going to...
00:03:36Finish your sentences?
00:03:37Yes, Dad.
00:03:37It saves us all a lot of time.
00:03:39Oh, amen to that.
00:03:41Okay, I got to get to rehearsal.
00:03:42My choir has a ton of work to do.
00:03:44Isn't it just four kids?
00:03:46It's more like a quartet than a choir.
00:03:47And by the time I'm done with them.
00:03:50See you later.
00:03:51Bye.
00:03:52Stop moving.
00:03:53I can't feel it.
00:04:03No.
00:04:06No.
00:04:08I have shoes.
00:04:09Shoes.
00:04:10Oh, don't do it.
00:04:12You're fine.
00:04:26Okay, let's save all that fun for later.
00:04:28Good morning, Miss Roberts.
00:04:30Good morning, everyone.
00:04:32All right, very busy day.
00:04:33We're just going to dive right in with Hark the Herald.
00:04:35Hark the Herald angels sing glory to you.
00:04:42All right, my man.
00:04:45Let me just bag up a couple things here for you.
00:04:48I threw in some extra picks as well.
00:05:06Same ones I use.
00:05:07You're going to love them.
00:05:07I absolutely promise.
00:05:08All right?
00:05:09Hey.
00:05:10Thanks.
00:05:10Dude, you are killing me.
00:05:12Sorry.
00:05:12You're late.
00:05:13Sorry.
00:05:14Is Jerry mad?
00:05:14I don't know.
00:05:15Jerry's always mad.
00:05:15Jerry.
00:05:19Jerry.
00:05:20So unreliable.
00:05:22He's like Scrooge machine music.
00:05:24Did you get the flyers?
00:05:24Yes.
00:05:25You put the wrong date.
00:05:26What?
00:05:26No.
00:05:27Wait.
00:05:28Come on.
00:05:29Saturday the 29th.
00:05:31That's right.
00:05:31Our show is on the 28th.
00:05:33And it's not a Saturday.
00:05:34Did I at least get the time right?
00:05:35No.
00:05:36I do the flyers from now on.
00:05:37You just lost your flyer privilege.
00:05:39Yeah, that's probably for the best.
00:05:40Did you ask Jerry to get all the extra equipment we need?
00:05:43I was supposed to do that.
00:05:44No.
00:05:44Jake, I didn't know.
00:05:46No, no.
00:05:46I didn't.
00:05:47No.
00:05:47No.
00:05:48Jake, man.
00:05:49We have to be on our game right now.
00:05:51Look, the videos we've been posting have been working.
00:05:54People are coming to this show to see us.
00:05:56That's so cool.
00:05:57Man.
00:05:58This is like the best Christmas present ever.
00:06:01You know, or Hanukkah present.
00:06:06Shalom.
00:06:08Did I do that right?
00:06:09That's close.
00:06:10Nice.
00:06:11Mazel tov.
00:06:11Do we miss our shot?
00:06:12Are we just going to be a band with old guys that can't wear leather pants anymore?
00:06:18We've never worn leather pants.
00:06:19It's a metaphor, dude.
00:06:21Are we being fooled by the ambrosia of fame?
00:06:26Ambrosia of fame.
00:06:28That's a sweet song title.
00:06:29We should write that down.
00:06:30Okay.
00:06:30Look, Dave.
00:06:31Music is what I'm good at.
00:06:34Okay?
00:06:35It's all I've ever dreamt of doing.
00:06:37And dreams are important.
00:06:38You know?
00:06:38Keeps you young.
00:06:40Well, leather pants young, but...
00:06:41Dave, enough with the leather pants.
00:06:42My point is we are good at this.
00:06:44We are not being fooled by the ambrosia of fame.
00:06:48Man, that would be a sweet song title.
00:06:49Right?
00:06:50The ambrosia...
00:06:52Of fame?
00:06:53Of fame.
00:06:54Ambrosia of fame.
00:06:55I'm not going to play all game.
00:06:57No, you're not.
00:07:07Shabbat shalom.
00:07:09You're not going to play all game.
00:07:10Shabbat shalom.
00:07:11Shabbat shalom.
00:07:12Good to see you.
00:07:13Levi.
00:07:14When your cousin Henry, oh, a man's a wonderful architect,
00:07:19why you thought it would be a good idea for him to fix the furnace is beyond me?
00:07:23Hi.
00:07:24Nikki.
00:07:25How are you, darling?
00:07:26Happy Hanukkah.
00:07:28Merry Christmas.
00:07:30You too.
00:07:31Hi, Rabbi Kyle.
00:07:32Nikki.
00:07:32Good to see you.
00:07:33Oh, Mrs. Markle.
00:07:36How many times have I told you?
00:07:38Stop with the Mrs. Markle.
00:07:40I haven't been your choir director in years.
00:07:42Nikki, how is it you work across the street, but we barely see you?
00:07:45Listen, my father is an amazing reverend, but self-sufficiency is not his strong suit.
00:07:50Please, I could tell you some stories about this one.
00:07:53So are you ready for the Christmas Eve concert?
00:07:57We're all going to be there.
00:07:58Yeah, yeah.
00:07:59We're really looking forward to it.
00:08:00Almost as much as we are at your Hanukkah concert.
00:08:03You're directing again this year, right?
00:08:04My mother doesn't understand the meaning of the word retirement.
00:08:07If I'm 80 years old, what else am I going to do?
00:08:11Bass jump?
00:08:12How do you know this bass jumping?
00:08:14Oh, I saw it on the streaming or whatever.
00:08:17It's called Nikki.
00:08:19You know what would make your Christmas concert really special?
00:08:23Mrs. Markle, I know what you're going to say.
00:08:24You have a beautiful voice.
00:08:27It's a sin you don't use it anymore.
00:08:30Well, I'm much happier behind the scenes, following in your footsteps.
00:08:34Well, who would have guessed both you and Jakey would still be working with music?
00:08:38You know, he plays in a band in New York, right?
00:08:41Yeah, yeah, you've mentioned that.
00:08:42And they play all over the city, and they're all the rage, as the kids say.
00:08:47And as if that wasn't enough, he also works in the music industry during the day, so you've said.
00:08:53Often.
00:08:54I'll tell him you say hi.
00:08:55Okay, great.
00:08:56Okay, well, I should get going.
00:08:58But it was great seeing you all.
00:09:00Bye, lady.
00:09:01Okay.
00:09:02Bye.
00:09:02See you, guys.
00:09:03Merry Christmas.
00:09:04Bye-bye.
00:09:04Bye-bye.
00:09:13Ambrosia of fame.
00:09:15I'm not gonna play your game.
00:09:18And by the time we're through, you're gonna know my name.
00:09:23Why does that sound so familiar?
00:09:26Ambrosia, natal, dreidel, I made it out of play.
00:09:32And by the time we're ready, my dreidel, I will play.
00:09:40Nope.
00:09:40The angels did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay.
00:09:58It's cold.
00:10:07I really appreciate your patience with the furnace.
00:10:12As we approach Hanukkah, we are so blessed.
00:10:15As I was saying, as we approach Hanukkah, we are so blessed to be surrounded by...
00:10:29Is somebody still playing a tambourine?
00:10:33I guess that's my cue to shorten the sermon and wish everyone a very Shabbat Shalom.
00:10:54Shabbat Shalom.
00:10:55Shabbat Shalom.
00:10:56I will go look into this.
00:10:57I'm going to.
00:10:58All right.
00:10:59Shabbat Shalom.
00:11:00I'll be right behind you.
00:11:01I'll be right behind you.
00:11:02Mm.
00:11:03Mm-mm.
00:11:04Mm-mm.
00:11:05Mm-mm.
00:11:06Mm-mm.
00:11:07Yeah.
00:11:08Yeah.
00:11:13Whoa.
00:11:14Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:11:17Ma.
00:11:18Ma, slow down.
00:11:19What about the furnace?
00:11:20What happened to Grandma?
00:11:30What do you need, Ma?
00:11:31Are you in pain?
00:11:32Do you need another pillow?
00:11:33Any more pillows on this couch, there won't be room for me.
00:11:37Grandma.
00:11:38Jakey!
00:11:39What are you doing here?
00:11:40You slept all the way from the city.
00:11:41Of course I slept all the way from the city.
00:11:43I want to make sure you're okay.
00:11:46Elaine, help me up.
00:11:47I need to make a kugel.
00:11:48No, no.
00:11:49I don't want kugel, Grandma.
00:11:50What did you do to yourself?
00:11:51Oh, I'm fine.
00:11:52She's not fine.
00:11:53I slipped on the water.
00:11:54Don't fuss.
00:11:55It's awful, Jakey.
00:11:56I'm still shaking.
00:11:57How about I whip up a nice batch of sufganiyat, a little jam, a little powdered sugar?
00:12:01Thank you, Grandma.
00:12:02It sounds delicious, but I'm not really hungry right now.
00:12:03Oh, is that why you look thin?
00:12:04You don't eat.
00:12:05Are you eating?
00:12:06No.
00:12:07No.
00:12:08No, Ma.
00:12:09New York ran out of food.
00:12:10Mr. Big Time musician thinks he's funny.
00:12:11Save it for the stage.
00:12:12Come here, you.
00:12:13Okay.
00:12:14All right.
00:12:15Hi, Ma.
00:12:16Nice to see you.
00:12:18That's a lot.
00:12:19Ow!
00:12:20It took your bubby being injured to get you home for Hanukkah?
00:12:22What have we done to deserve this?
00:12:23No, I'm not home.
00:12:24No, I'm not home.
00:12:25No, I'm not home.
00:12:26No, I'm not home.
00:12:27No, I'm not home.
00:12:28No, I'm not home.
00:12:29No, I'm not home.
00:12:30No, I'm not home.
00:12:31No, I'm not home.
00:12:32No, I'm not home.
00:12:33No, I'm not home.
00:12:34No, I'm not home.
00:12:35What have we done to deserve this?
00:12:37No, I'm not home for Hanukkah, Mom.
00:12:39I've got a big show coming up that we've got to rehearse for.
00:12:42Rougala.
00:12:43That's what we need.
00:12:44No, no, no.
00:12:45Grandma?
00:12:46Down.
00:12:47Where's Dad?
00:12:48He's at the synagogue, talking to a real maintenance company.
00:12:52How bad is it?
00:13:05Okay, yeah, it's bad.
00:13:06At least nobody was hurt.
00:13:07Well, Grandma got hurt.
00:13:08She said she's fine.
00:13:09She's lying down on the couch while the sun is up.
00:13:1210 points.
00:13:13Look, how long is this going to take to fix?
00:13:15Plumber said weeks.
00:13:16Hanukkah starts in two days.
00:13:18Where are you going to hold the candle lighting and other services?
00:13:20Jake, it'll be fine.
00:13:21Relax.
00:13:22We always figure it out.
00:13:23Okay?
00:13:24Oh.
00:13:25Oh, city inspector.
00:13:26All right, I'm going to head out.
00:13:56Nikki?
00:13:57Nikki Roberts?
00:13:58Jake?
00:13:59Uh...
00:14:00Hi.
00:14:01Hi.
00:14:02Do you need some help with that?
00:14:03Actually...
00:14:04Okay, you...
00:14:05Here.
00:14:06Here, here, here.
00:14:07I've got it.
00:14:08Okay.
00:14:10Oh, wow, what's in here?
00:14:11Uh...
00:14:12New hymnals.
00:14:13Right.
00:14:14My mom told me.
00:14:15We're directing the choir here now.
00:14:16Okay.
00:14:18Oh, wow.
00:14:19What's in here?
00:14:20Uh...
00:14:21New hymnals.
00:14:22Right.
00:14:23My mom told me we're directing the choir here now.
00:14:25Hmm.
00:14:26Huh.
00:14:27Your mom tells you about me?
00:14:29Oh, my mom tells me about everyone.
00:14:31Oh.
00:14:32Yeah.
00:14:33Well, I know it's not some big music career in New York City, but our mother's a lot in comedy.
00:14:38Clearly.
00:14:39But listen, I don't know that I'd call it big time, so...
00:14:42Oh.
00:14:43You're in a band.
00:14:44That's something.
00:14:45It's just nice that you're still plugging away at it after all these years.
00:14:49Plugging away?
00:14:50We play at venues all over the city.
00:14:53Like, you know, New York City.
00:14:55Like, the city.
00:14:56Yeah.
00:14:57I've heard of it.
00:14:58Must be very exciting.
00:14:59It is.
00:15:00I'm making music.
00:15:01It's what I always wanted to do.
00:15:02What we always wanted to do.
00:15:03I make music.
00:15:04Yeah.
00:15:05For sure.
00:15:06For sure.
00:15:07With the children's choir at your dad's church.
00:15:08That must be very rewarding.
00:15:09It is, actually.
00:15:10And challenging.
00:15:11It's certainly harder than just playing music.
00:15:13I'm not just playing music.
00:15:14I compose.
00:15:15I write.
00:15:16I sing.
00:15:17My grandma told me you don't even do that anymore.
00:15:19Whoa.
00:15:20Your grandma told you about me, too?
00:15:23We're Jewish.
00:15:24Talking about people we haven't seen in 20 years is as much a tradition as lighting the menorah.
00:15:27Oh.
00:15:28So, is that why you're here?
00:15:29Hanukkah?
00:15:30Here?
00:15:31For Hanukkah?
00:15:32Oh, I don't think so.
00:15:33In Pine Bend.
00:15:34I'm here because of the furnace issue.
00:15:36Yeah, it's terrible.
00:15:37Your dad told me about that.
00:15:38Yeah.
00:15:39My grandma slipped on some water.
00:15:41She's lying down.
00:15:42During the day?
00:15:43Like, the biggest problem is that it's going to take weeks to repair.
00:15:47It's too cold and the congregation doesn't have a place to have services.
00:15:51Sure they do.
00:15:56I just want to take a moment to welcome our friends and neighbors from Temple Beth Alam.
00:16:02I know some of you weren't expecting to spend the eight days of Hanukkah in an Episcopal church.
00:16:07But as the saying goes, when you make plans, God laughs.
00:16:14It's true.
00:16:15And in the spirit of the holidays, Hanukkah and Christmas, let's all eat, drink, and be
00:16:20merry.
00:16:27Wonderful to see you all here.
00:16:28See you.
00:16:34Mrs. Markle, hi.
00:16:35How are you feeling?
00:16:36Oh, hi, darling.
00:16:38I'm fine.
00:16:39How are you?
00:16:40How's your quiet doing?
00:16:41Oh, they're good.
00:16:42They're great.
00:16:44Dad actually wanted them to sing tonight, but they need more rehearsal.
00:16:48I wanted them to stay focused on the Christmas Eve concert.
00:16:50I'm sure that they would sound wonderful.
00:16:52Thank you, Dad.
00:16:53I just don't want any surprises.
00:16:55This is a season of joy and fun.
00:16:57Well, rehearsing is fun.
00:16:59Plus, I want it to be perfect.
00:17:01You know there's an old saying, perfection can be the enemy of the good.
00:17:05Well, I know a different saying, practice makes perfect.
00:17:08Oh.
00:17:09Maybe you should take that to heart before the holiday bowl next week.
00:17:11Oh.
00:17:12Watch out, Paul.
00:17:13You better up your ugly sweater game.
00:17:14Ooh.
00:17:15I sense a sore loser.
00:17:16You're speaking to a man of God.
00:17:18Watch out.
00:17:19Funny.
00:17:20I was about to say the same thing.
00:17:21It's gonna be a long week.
00:17:22Look at this one.
00:17:25It's got perfect skin.
00:17:27Beautiful.
00:17:28No pores at all.
00:17:29Are you dating?
00:17:30No.
00:17:31Do you know someone for her?
00:17:32Has she tried the online?
00:17:33She won't.
00:17:34She's too picky.
00:17:35This has been fun.
00:17:36Yeah, I'm gonna go drink some poison.
00:17:38Okay.
00:17:39Okay.
00:17:40Goodbye.
00:17:41Bye, everyone.
00:17:42Bye.
00:17:43Excuse me.
00:17:44Great to see you guys.
00:17:45You're not too picky.
00:17:47You okay?
00:17:48I saw my mother poking your face.
00:18:04No, your mother's great.
00:18:05I'm out here because of my mother.
00:18:07Aw.
00:18:08I love Cynthia.
00:18:09No, I do too.
00:18:10Don't get me wrong.
00:18:11I'm just saying.
00:18:12She can be a lot.
00:18:13My mother invented a lot.
00:18:14Are we really gonna compete over whose mother is more of a handful?
00:18:16No.
00:18:17No.
00:18:18It's not a competition.
00:18:19But if it was, I'd clearly win.
00:18:21Okay.
00:18:25Oh, Nicky.
00:18:26Jakey, there you are.
00:18:28Grandma, what are you doing?
00:18:30You know you're not supposed to be walking.
00:18:32I'm fine, but that's what I want to talk to you about.
00:18:35I've been thinking and I decided I need someone to take over the choir.
00:18:42Okay, Grandma, now I know you're not okay.
00:18:45You would never willingly give that up.
00:18:46No, no, he's right.
00:18:47You've been directing the choir as long as they can remember.
00:18:49I'm telling you, I'm fine, but if I'm on that foot much longer, your mother is gonna be so mad she's gonna put me in a hole.
00:18:57I love her, but she gave me a lot.
00:18:59So I want you to do it.
00:19:01Me?
00:19:02What?
00:19:03Grandma, I'm not gonna be here for Hanukkah.
00:19:06I've gotta go back to New York for my show, remember?
00:19:09Well, but the kids concert is before that on the 24th.
00:19:12That's when we have our concert.
00:19:14This year, the 24th is actually the last night of Hanukkah.
00:19:17It almost never happens.
00:19:18Well, Christmas Eve is the 24th and that always happens.
00:19:22Listen, we both can't have a concert if we're sharing the sanctuary.
00:19:25Whoa, whoa.
00:19:26Hanukkah ends at sundown, Christmas Eve is at night.
00:19:30Oh, it sounds like it was meant to be.
00:19:32Grandma, I love you so much, but I can't drop everything to come here to direct a kids' choir.
00:19:37Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:38Are you not up to the challenge?
00:19:40I didn't say I couldn't, okay?
00:19:44I said I can't.
00:19:46You know what?
00:19:47It's for the best.
00:19:48We both know that it takes a certain skill to do what we do.
00:19:52Look, any choir I direct, you put your little hallelujah chorus to shame, okay?
00:19:58Okay then, so it's settled.
00:19:59I'll go tell everyone the good news.
00:20:01What just happened?
00:20:03Your grandma played you like a Christmas harp.
00:20:06Huh.
00:20:07To the best choir.
00:20:09No, it's not a competition.
00:20:11Oh, no, of course not.
00:20:12But if it were her, I'd clearly win.
00:20:18We'll see about that.
00:20:36What are you doing?
00:20:37Trying to see if they have any all the jingle ladies left.
00:20:38Any what?
00:20:39All the jingle ladies.
00:20:40They're Christmas themed lady fingers.
00:20:41Yes, I...
00:20:42Cookies.
00:20:43Yes, I know what lady fingers are.
00:20:44Oh, but you were asking.
00:20:45They're very popular on social media.
00:20:46You take food recommendations from social media?
00:20:49You don't?
00:20:50How do you decide what you're going to eat?
00:20:51I read reviews from respectable critics.
00:20:52Consult with friends who share my taste.
00:20:53You also hire a focus group.
00:20:54Look, social media can be a very useful tool.
00:20:56We do videos for the band all the time.
00:20:57See?
00:20:58Hello, New York!
00:20:59My name is Jake.
00:21:00We are back in.
00:21:01Are you ready to get this party started?
00:21:02It's great.
00:21:07What do you want Christmas cookies anyway?
00:21:09I'm a Virginian.
00:21:10It's about a Christmas party.
00:21:11It's about a Christmas party.
00:21:13I'm out there until the morning.
00:21:14I'm not going to eat.
00:21:15You're talking to a Christmas party.
00:21:16I'm out there.
00:21:17You're talking to a Christmas party.
00:21:19I'm out.
00:21:20I'm out there.
00:21:21You're talking to a Christmas party.
00:21:23Give me a Christmas party.
00:21:24I'm out there.
00:21:26You're talking to finance.
00:21:27anyway. I'm about to walk into a room full of children. I would like to be armed. Your kids
00:21:32need to focus. Getting them hopped up on sugar is a terrible idea. All right, you do your choir your
00:21:36way and I'll do mine my way, okay? All right, but don't sit in and warn you. Hi, could I have the last
00:21:41of your lady fingers? Ha! Good morning, kids. Good morning, Ms. Robbers. Are we ready to get started?
00:21:49Yes, Ms. Robbers. Okay, let's just button up all that fun, straighten out our line. We want it to
00:21:56be perfect.
00:22:26Hello, Temple Beth-am! My name is Jake. I'm your new choir director. Are you ready to get this party started?
00:22:42This is it? There's not more of you?
00:22:45Oh, it's not the smallest gig I've played.
00:22:47Cookies?
00:22:58Let's just focus on the music. Concentrate. Okay, here we go.
00:23:04Okay. Okay, I'm loving this energy. All right. Question? You? What's your name?
00:23:18Zach.
00:23:18What's up, Zach Attack? Nice to meet you. What do you want to know?
00:23:21Are you really a big-time music guy in New York City?
00:23:24What have you heard?
00:23:25That you are.
00:23:26I am. Big time. Big deal. You?
00:23:28Is Rabbi Cohen your dad?
00:23:30Yes, he is.
00:23:30How come we've never seen you before?
00:23:33Are you married?
00:23:34No.
00:23:35Dating?
00:23:35Nah, no. Not right now.
00:23:37If you're so big-time, why have we never heard of you?
00:23:40Why don't you come home for the High Holy Days?
00:23:42Okay.
00:23:46Who wants more cookies?
00:23:52It's quiet. It's silent. We hear nothing.
00:23:56One, two, three, four.
00:23:58Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
00:24:03Little louder.
00:24:04No more fun is to ride along our soap and sleigh.
00:24:08Hey!
00:24:09Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
00:24:14Okay, so, uh, let's talk music. What have you guys been working on?
00:24:20Oh, Hanukkah.
00:24:21Oh, Hanukkah? What? Why?
00:24:23What?
00:24:23No, we need this concert to be really good.
00:24:26You. What's your name?
00:24:28I'm Rose.
00:24:29How's it going, Rose Petal?
00:24:31You don't like that? Rose? Bud?
00:24:34Rosie? Posey? Rosemeister.
00:24:36I'm so sorry. I'll work on it.
00:24:38Are we going to actually rehearse?
00:24:39Little louder.
00:24:41People all the way.
00:24:44Oh, more fun is to ride along our soap and sleigh.
00:24:45Yes. Yes, we are.
00:24:47But first, we need to warm up.
00:24:50It's very important.
00:24:51So, uh, everybody do what I do.
00:24:55Jump up and down like you're at a rock concert.
00:24:57Yeah.
00:24:58Nice. Now repeat after me.
00:25:00Ow!
00:25:02No!
00:25:03Now like this.
00:25:04Yeah!
00:25:05Yeah!
00:25:05Yeah!
00:25:06Hey!
00:25:08Hello!
00:25:10Hey!
00:25:11How's our cocktails made?
00:25:13Making spirits cry?
00:25:16What fun it is to ride and sing a sleigh?
00:25:19Excuse me.
00:25:20Quiet!
00:25:21Can't they hear you scream?
00:25:23Ah!
00:25:24Really good.
00:25:25Love the energy.
00:25:26You guys are awesome.
00:25:30Hi again.
00:25:31What can I do for you?
00:25:32We're in the midst of a very serious choir practice over here, and your tomfoolery is distracting.
00:25:39Well, we're in the midst of a very serious rehearsal as well, and the tomfoolery is a big part of it.
00:25:46So I'm going to close the door right now.
00:25:47We need loud instruments, okay?
00:25:49All the loud ones.
00:25:50Grab a music stand and a mallet.
00:25:52Yes!
00:25:52Here we go.
00:25:52One more time.
00:25:53Ready?
00:25:54And I want you to sing so loudly your heads pop off.
00:25:56Okay?
00:25:57Here we go.
00:25:57Dancing through the snow.
00:26:00Yeah!
00:26:01Yeah!
00:26:02Yeah!
00:26:02Yeah!
00:26:06Show me!
00:26:07That's what won't be going in the bus!
00:26:10I'm coming in the bus!
00:26:14I think these kids need to be grounded.
00:26:21Mm.
00:26:23Just to be clear, we're talking about our kids, right?
00:26:26Yeah.
00:26:26Now, we understand that there's going to be a period of adjustment.
00:26:32But the screaming, dueling choirs?
00:26:35That's not going to work.
00:26:36This is a place of worship, not a battle of the bands.
00:26:41We started it.
00:26:41Oh, that's very mature.
00:26:43This is exactly how you acted in high school.
00:26:45Cookies, I didn't bribe them.
00:26:46They love cookies.
00:26:48The drums are part of the instrument.
00:26:49Enough!
00:26:51Enough.
00:26:52The kids are watching.
00:26:54You two are role models, and right now they're picking up that you two are against each other.
00:26:59Aren't we here to build community?
00:27:01It's kind of hard to do when you're always at odds with each other.
00:27:04And you two should know that better than anyone.
00:27:07Now find your holiday spirit, and respect each other's rehearsal space, volume, and time.
00:27:12Fine.
00:27:15Fine.
00:27:24Okay.
00:27:26Let's make the rehearsal space a happy place for the kids.
00:27:30I think I know how to do that.
00:27:40So, um, this is it?
00:27:43Garland and glitter save the day?
00:27:44Don't underestimate the healing power of decorations with excessive sparkles.
00:27:48Okay, but we should only decorate the hallway.
00:27:50Keep the rehearsal space minimal.
00:27:52Uh, no.
00:27:53No, those rehearsal rooms are depressing.
00:27:55They need cheering up.
00:27:56They're a distraction freak.
00:27:57They're Whoville after the Grinch stole Christmas.
00:28:00The concerts are in nine days.
00:28:02We need to stay focused on the music.
00:28:03All right, think of it this way.
00:28:04It'll keep our fathers from sending us to bed without supper.
00:28:07Plus, the kids will love it.
00:28:11Oh.
00:28:12Oh, ugly sweater.
00:28:16Ouch.
00:28:16I think I look good.
00:28:18No, ugly sweater for the holiday bowl.
00:28:20Oh.
00:28:21Hey, we're not actually expected to go to that, right?
00:28:24Oh, wow.
00:28:27I know that look.
00:28:28That's the look my mother gives me.
00:28:30Fine, I'll be there.
00:28:30Yes, you will.
00:28:31And you will wear one.
00:28:33Wait, are there actually ugly Hanukkah sweaters?
00:28:35Sure there are.
00:28:36I had one with a menorah on it that said, too lit to quit.
00:28:39That's right.
00:28:40Yeah, it had light bulbs on it, right?
00:28:42It, like, actually lit up.
00:28:43Oh, yeah.
00:28:43You could see me coming from the next date.
00:28:46Yes, I remember that.
00:28:47Oh, man.
00:28:48Okay.
00:28:48So, uh, how you been?
00:28:57What do you mean?
00:28:59Well, you know, I mean, we haven't really talked much since we were kids.
00:29:03I've, uh, I've been fine.
00:29:07Oh, yeah?
00:29:08Just fine.
00:29:09I don't really know how to answer that.
00:29:10I mean, I've had good days, I've had bad days, and in general, I've been fine.
00:29:14How have you been?
00:29:15Fine.
00:29:15See?
00:29:16Great.
00:29:17So, we're both fine.
00:29:18Yeah.
00:29:19So, other than rehearsing your choir to the ground, what do you, what do you do these days?
00:29:23Oh, um, the annual bake sale is coming up.
00:29:26Will you be helping with that?
00:29:28Oh, what, what is that over there?
00:29:30That looks like a, a, a perfectly timed exit.
00:29:42Okay, now we just need to agree on a Christmas tree.
00:29:45I figured I would take that one, and you can pick up the Hanukkah bush.
00:29:49First of all, Hanukkah bushes, not a thing.
00:29:54Second of all, I can't have an opinion on a Christmas tree.
00:29:57You have to admit that I'm probably a little bit more well-versed in the concept.
00:30:01I've had one every year, my entire life.
00:30:04Yeah, but, you know, I didn't grow up in a cave.
00:30:06I know what constitutes a good Christmas tree.
00:30:08Be my guest.
00:30:19This one.
00:30:19Yeah, it's, um, it's fine.
00:30:27Fine, like how you've been for the last 20 years, or fine, like you don't want to admit
00:30:30how great it is because I picked it up?
00:30:31Fine, as in fine, I will pick up the Hanukkah bush.
00:30:34Not a thing, but you know what?
00:30:36The kids will love a Hanukkah bush, so let's go for it.
00:30:41Let's do it.
00:30:42This one.
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:44Okay, yeah, it's fine, too.
00:30:50All right, Peefo, let's go.
00:30:53Want to grab it?
00:30:54Let's bring joy into the world.
00:31:07Where there's Christmas, there's laughter, there's happy hour after.
00:31:13For all the boys and girls, let's bring joy into the world.
00:31:18Bring joy, bring joy into the world.
00:31:24Bring joy, bring joy into the world.
00:31:30Joy into the world.
00:31:48Can I come in?
00:32:07Yep.
00:32:08Yeah.
00:32:09Anywhere you'd like.
00:32:10Have a seat.
00:32:12So, the kids had fun today with the decorations.
00:32:15Oh, yeah.
00:32:16Yeah, they did.
00:32:17Although, we really didn't get any work done.
00:32:19No.
00:32:20No.
00:32:20No, no, no.
00:32:21So, I think maybe going forward, we just stay focused on the music, you know?
00:32:27Because it's actually just really important to me that we find those moments in the song
00:32:31where it all comes together to make something beautiful.
00:32:34You miss being a musician, don't you?
00:32:36I'm still a musician.
00:32:38I meant a professional.
00:32:40I, Jake, I direct a kids' choir.
00:32:42Working with kids is professional.
00:32:43I'm professional.
00:32:44No, no, no.
00:32:44Of course.
00:32:45I'm not saying this right.
00:32:47What I mean is, it can't fulfill you the same way that singing did.
00:32:53Yes, it does.
00:32:54Did you ever sing again after the talent show?
00:32:57Jake, I don't, I don't want to talk about this.
00:32:59Why are we talking about this?
00:33:00It wasn't that bad.
00:33:01Why are we talking about this?
00:33:02It wasn't that bad.
00:33:03Everyone has a bad show.
00:33:04You shake it off and you do it again.
00:33:06You don't give up.
00:33:07I don't quit.
00:33:08I didn't give up.
00:33:10I pivoted.
00:33:12All right.
00:33:12Well, that sounds like another word for quitting.
00:33:14No.
00:33:15No, it's not.
00:33:16It means choosing something different.
00:33:17Just like how I'm choosing not to have this conversation anymore.
00:33:20That was quitting too.
00:33:26I don't quit.
00:33:27Oh.
00:33:28Miss Robert.
00:33:29Yes.
00:33:29Hi, honey.
00:33:30Did you forget something?
00:33:31I quit.
00:33:32What?
00:33:33You mean the choir?
00:33:34Why?
00:33:34It's supposed to be fun.
00:33:36It's really kind of not.
00:33:37No offense.
00:33:38Okay, Oscar, sweetheart.
00:33:39Listen, I know it's a lot of work, but we don't just quit in life, okay?
00:33:42We don't just give up.
00:33:43Maybe he's pivoting.
00:33:45Oscar, we need you to sing the harmonies, okay?
00:33:48Please.
00:33:49Sorry.
00:33:51But...
00:33:52What?
00:33:57I can't believe this.
00:33:59The Yankees.
00:33:59What?
00:34:00What's going on now?
00:34:01One of her kids just pivoted out of the choir.
00:34:03You are impossible.
00:34:04Oi, stop it.
00:34:05You two, just like you were in high school.
00:34:08Let's start again.
00:34:09Nikki, what happened?
00:34:10I'm down to a choir of three.
00:34:11It's called a trio.
00:34:12I just...
00:34:12I don't...
00:34:12I don't even know what to do.
00:34:14Combine them.
00:34:15Sorry, combine them, like, mash them together?
00:34:18Why not?
00:34:19Combine the kids, and then you get more harmony.
00:34:24Uh, I appreciate the advice, but I don't go telling you two to combine your sermons.
00:34:28Yeah.
00:34:29I mean, it's like...
00:34:30My fear.
00:34:30That's sort of...
00:34:30An interfaith celebration.
00:34:32That's a great idea.
00:34:34Well, instead of separate services on the 24th, we combine them, your congregation and ours together.
00:34:38We team up on the sermons, and the choirs perform together.
00:34:41Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, please.
00:34:43Um, I have a whole program put together.
00:34:46We've been rehearsing for weeks.
00:34:47I can't just change all that and have it ready in nine days.
00:34:49Honey, with respect, it's not the Tabernacle Choir.
00:34:53Dad, dad, no.
00:34:54This is...
00:34:55It's never gonna work.
00:34:56That is exactly what they said about the oil in the menorah.
00:34:58Hanukkah starts at sundown.
00:35:00This is a miracle waiting to happen.
00:35:02Dad, dad, dad.
00:35:05Well, um, I guess one of us needs to take the lead.
00:35:09Should be me.
00:35:10What?
00:35:10You.
00:35:11No, I...
00:35:11I am literally...
00:35:12He acquired...
00:35:13...professional musician.
00:35:14This is gonna be very complicated.
00:35:15Okay, wow.
00:35:16Thanks.
00:35:28Hi.
00:35:29Sorry I'm late.
00:35:30My dad's sermon was about the 28 days of Advent, and it lasted almost that long.
00:35:35My dad once did one about the 40 years of wandering the desert, so I feel your pain.
00:35:41Please, please.
00:35:43Please.
00:35:44Our mothers are here.
00:35:45Yeah.
00:35:45Yeah, I'm pretty sure our dad sent them here to spy on us.
00:35:48Hi.
00:35:48Uh-huh.
00:35:49Hi.
00:35:49Hi.
00:35:50What?
00:35:51Oh, wow.
00:35:52You're Nikki.
00:35:53Such a doll.
00:35:54And Jacob, he grew up so well.
00:35:56Now if he could just settle down and get married.
00:35:58Oh, you're preaching to the choir, my friend.
00:36:00I don't suppose you have a nice Jewish girl you could set my Jakey up with?
00:36:04He's such a getch.
00:36:07Does she have to be Jewish?
00:36:10I spent the morning at the music store at the mall.
00:36:12Not a great selection, but...
00:36:15I have some good suggestions for the program.
00:36:17Mmm.
00:36:17Christmas, Hanukkah.
00:36:19This is great.
00:36:19I didn't realize you knew this many Christmas songs.
00:36:22Oh, Jewish people love Christmas music.
00:36:24We wrote a lot of it.
00:36:25Oh.
00:36:26It's true.
00:36:27Not so much for Hanukkah, though, huh?
00:36:30I guess they were too busy writing songs for us.
00:36:31They're laughing.
00:36:34That's a good sign.
00:36:35That's a very good sign.
00:36:36We could do worse than having dear friends as in-laws.
00:36:39My thoughts exactly.
00:36:40I think this is gonna work.
00:36:42Maybe we just ask the kids what their favorite songs are?
00:36:44That's a great idea.
00:36:45We just need something big to finish with.
00:36:49Are there any songs that work for both Christmas and Hanukkah?
00:36:53Not that I know of.
00:36:54Wait.
00:36:55Mr. Music doesn't know something music-related?
00:36:57You know, I love Nikki.
00:36:59And our church is very open to interfaith unions.
00:37:02And the children.
00:37:03They could be bar mitzvahed.
00:37:05Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:37:07We have the wedding to plan first.
00:37:09My job isn't as glamorous as my mom makes it out to be.
00:37:12I work at a music store.
00:37:13I spend most of my time selling guitars to teenagers who think they're the next Eddie Van Halen.
00:37:17Didn't you want to be the next Eddie Van Halen?
00:37:19No.
00:37:20Jimmy Page.
00:37:21Hendrix.
00:37:21Maybe.
00:37:22Well, if it makes you feel any better, I thought I was gonna be the next Barbra Streisand, so.
00:37:27What's happening?
00:37:28Why are they coming over here?
00:37:29They look like hungry lions who just spotted a living gazelle.
00:37:33Sorry to interrupt, but Cynthia and I were just talking.
00:37:36And we realized that tonight is the first night of Hanukkah.
00:37:40Oh, yeah?
00:37:40You just realized that?
00:37:41You've been cooking for a week, Mom.
00:37:42And it's the third Sunday of Advent.
00:37:44And Dad literally had a sermon on this today, Mom.
00:37:47Well.
00:37:48And since your fathers have combined their sermons, and you two are combining your choirs,
00:37:52we thought it would be a good idea to combine the first day of Hanukkah and the third Sunday of Advent.
00:37:58They both involve lighting candles.
00:38:00Isn't that a great idea?
00:38:02Hey.
00:38:02It's great.
00:38:03Yeah, because we can do my...
00:38:05I know in this scenario we're the limping gazelle, but I still think we could outrun them.
00:38:09Oh, no.
00:38:09Pace it.
00:38:10We're lion food.
00:38:12We could work together.
00:38:12We could do...
00:38:13I know in this scenario we're going to have a good idea.
00:38:50The third candle of Advent symbolizes joy.
00:38:56Share it freely and let it lift us.
00:38:58Okay, let's eat
00:39:08We're all thinking
00:39:11I'm just going to say it
00:39:12Thank you for having us
00:39:20Merry Christmas
00:39:28Hey
00:39:38Hey
00:39:38I was, uh, just getting things ready for s'mores
00:39:42Man, I could really get behind this Christmas thing
00:39:44Can I make a confession?
00:39:46Isn't that more your people's thing?
00:39:50Um, so I, uh, I was looking at photos of us yesterday when we were kids
00:39:56Back when we were friends
00:39:59We're still friends
00:40:01I mean, we're not enemies, I don't think
00:40:04Are you actively plotting my downfall?
00:40:06I mean, not today
00:40:07Honestly, Jake, I just
00:40:12For the life of me, I can't remember when we stopped being friends
00:40:18And when we started being rivals
00:40:19You really don't remember?
00:40:26Ninth grade
00:40:27You don't remember what you did when I won that debate?
00:40:34I accepted defeat graciously
00:40:36No
00:40:36You told everyone that I used the money I got from my grandma for Hanukkah
00:40:42To pay off the moderator
00:40:43No, I didn't say you did that
00:40:45I merely raised it as a possibility
00:40:47Which was really uncool
00:40:52Sorry about that
00:40:55Anyways, do you remember what you did when I won the student council election?
00:40:59Yeah, well, that was completely different
00:41:00I was allowed to demand a recount
00:41:02Four of them?
00:41:03I didn't want to be on stupid student council anyway
00:41:05Wow
00:41:07Man, that wasn't cool either, huh?
00:41:10I'm sorry about that
00:41:12So, what do you think? Is this going to work?
00:41:18You and me?
00:41:18I, not you and me
00:41:23Like, you and me, you and me, obviously
00:41:25I mean, you and me in the choir
00:41:26And I'm going to stop talking now
00:41:28Okay, can we just call a truce, please?
00:41:38Nikki, Jake, come quick
00:41:40No, no, no, no
00:41:44Elaine, Elaine, Elaine, please calm down
00:41:46It'll be alright, it'll be fine
00:41:48Hey, what's going on?
00:41:50Your father tricked his email
00:41:52Dad, we talked about this
00:41:53The Nigerian prince isn't real
00:41:55This is no time for jokes
00:41:57I'm not joking
00:41:57The contractor sent an estimate for the repairs for the furnace and the pipes
00:42:02Is there a place in the holding with gold and diamonds?
00:42:04What is this?
00:42:05Now, there's enough in the reserves to cover the costs
00:42:08Barely
00:42:09But it'll be fine
00:42:11It'll be fine
00:42:11Wait, hold on
00:42:13I got an idea
00:42:14What if all the events we're planning, we turn into a fundraiser?
00:42:18We could charge for the ugly sweater holiday bowl
00:42:20And then the proceeds from the bake sale could go towards the repair fund
00:42:23Genius!
00:42:25What a wonderful girl
00:42:26I think that's a great idea
00:42:27I should have thought of that first
00:42:28No, no, no
00:42:29They're not rivals anymore
00:42:30It was in the truce fine print
00:42:32I forgot about the fine print
00:42:35We're gonna love it
00:42:37All right, now that we've combined forces
00:42:43We need to think about the set list for the concert
00:42:45We've just rehearsed Jingle Bells
00:42:47Does anyone else have any ideas?
00:42:50The dreidel song, but fast
00:42:52Nice
00:42:52Frosty the Snowman?
00:42:54Uh, let's save Frosty for recess
00:42:56Oh, so Jingle Bells makes the cut before Frosty's out in the cold?
00:42:59Are you serious?
00:43:01How about we run some scales?
00:43:04No!
00:43:05Really?
00:43:07Sorry?
00:43:10You dog
00:43:10When do we get to the fun part?
00:43:13Scales are fun
00:43:14Yeah, scales are fun
00:43:16You guys have fun in your choir?
00:43:19Yeah, all the time
00:43:19We sing a dance-able tambourine
00:43:21Miss Roberts
00:43:23Can we be Jewish?
00:43:25I want to play an instrument
00:43:26Oh boy
00:43:27Okay, may I?
00:43:29Uh
00:43:29Okay, sure
00:43:31Okay, all right
00:43:31Go ahead
00:43:32All right, circle up, guys
00:43:33Put our binders to the side
00:43:34Drop them to the side
00:43:36Let's shake it out
00:43:37Let's shake out our hand
00:43:38Let's shake out our feet
00:43:40Make some weird noises
00:43:41Uh, Kyle, I'm
00:43:43So, today's rehearsal was, uh
00:43:46Not good
00:43:47No
00:43:47No, they had fun
00:43:48Yes, they did
00:43:49But they were not good
00:43:50No, they were not
00:43:51So, is that really the choice?
00:43:52Boring and good
00:43:53Or fun and bad?
00:43:55Am I always boring?
00:43:57No
00:43:57No
00:43:58Your way
00:43:59Is structured
00:44:01Ugh
00:44:02Have I always been this unfun?
00:44:04No, you're not unfun
00:44:05Jake, they want to change religions
00:44:06Because of me
00:44:07Look, you just need to
00:44:08You know
00:44:09Relax
00:44:11Loosen up
00:44:12I can relax
00:44:13I can loosen up
00:44:14You know
00:44:15Ow
00:44:15So
00:44:16The point is
00:44:19What about you?
00:44:20Okay?
00:44:21What about you?
00:44:21What about me?
00:44:21I'm extremely loose and relaxed
00:44:23It's my thing
00:44:23And how's that working out for you?
00:44:26Jake, listen
00:44:27You're so talented
00:44:28You're charismatic
00:44:29Thank you
00:44:30You're incredible on stage
00:44:31I've seen your videos
00:44:32Wait, you watched our videos?
00:44:34The point is
00:44:34You're really good
00:44:36Like, excellent
00:44:38But being successful
00:44:39Is more than just being good
00:44:41You have to have focus
00:44:43You've got to be serious
00:44:45You've got to have structure
00:44:46I can focus
00:44:46I can structure
00:44:48I can serious
00:44:50I can't
00:44:52I can't
00:44:53Okay?
00:44:54You want to be serious?
00:44:55Yeah
00:44:55I'll be serious right now
00:44:56I bet you
00:44:57That I can be more focused and structured
00:45:00Than you can be loose and relaxed
00:45:01Oh, I will take that bet
00:45:03Really?
00:45:03Okay
00:45:03Tonight of bowling
00:45:04If I take it seriously enough to beat you
00:45:07Then you have to relax enough
00:45:10To have a little bit of fun afterward
00:45:11What kind of fun?
00:45:15You have to sing
00:45:16No
00:45:16In front of the whole bowling alley
00:45:17Mm-mm
00:45:18Sorry
00:45:19Not that
00:45:20No
00:45:20Sorry, what was
00:45:21What was that?
00:45:22What, what, what?
00:45:23Is that a
00:45:24Okay
00:45:24Is that a chicken?
00:45:25Okay, okay, fine
00:45:26Oh, that's you
00:45:27Chicken on the street
00:45:30Fine, fine
00:45:30I will take that bet
00:45:30Oh, why?
00:45:31Because I'm not going to lose
00:45:32Oh, it's very confident
00:45:33And if I win
00:45:34I get to pick the final song
00:45:36For the kids' choir
00:45:37Those are high stakes, Roberts
00:45:40Bring it on
00:45:41All right, you're on
00:45:42Shake
00:45:43You shake on it?
00:45:46And then we've got to do one of these
00:45:48Oh, we're doing a secret shake
00:45:50We're not ready for a secret handshake
00:45:51Let's go
00:45:52People might have seen that
00:45:53There you go
00:45:54Happy bowling
00:45:55Hello, Franny

00:49:00No pressure
00:49:01Thanks, Dad
00:49:01All right
00:49:02No pressure
00:49:02No pressure
00:49:04Thank you
00:49:08It's just a game
00:49:09No, Dad
00:49:10You don't understand
00:49:11If you
00:49:11I think I'm gonna be sick
00:49:13Yes
00:49:34We did it
00:49:35Yes
00:49:35Yeah
00:49:36You win
00:49:39Good job
00:49:41Good
00:49:41Go ahead
00:49:44Jake
00:49:45Go ahead
00:49:45This is the part where you rub your victory in my face
00:49:49No, I'm not gonna do that
00:49:50No, no, no, no
00:49:50I deserve it
00:49:51You won
00:49:51I lost
00:49:52Lay it on me
00:49:55Thank you
00:50:01For saving me from having to sing
00:50:03Oh
00:50:10Hi
00:50:11Hi
00:50:12Good morning
00:50:13Um, listen
00:50:15About last night
00:50:16The game and the
00:50:17Kiss
00:50:17On the cheek
00:50:18It was a kiss on the cheek
00:50:19It didn't mean anything
00:50:21Yeah
00:50:22No, yeah
00:50:24Of course
00:50:24It was like
00:50:25It was like barely a kiss
00:50:26Right
00:50:26It was like a brush
00:50:27It was like your lips
00:50:28Just like brushed my cheek
00:50:29For like a second
00:50:30It was a perception of a second
00:50:31It was a very brief brush
00:50:33Honestly, it didn't
00:50:34It's like it didn't even happen at all
00:50:35That's right
00:50:35That's right
00:50:36Exactly
00:50:36So we really don't have to talk about it
00:50:38Right
00:50:39Yeah
00:50:39Okay
00:50:41We can
00:50:43Yeah, no
00:50:43After you
00:50:44Let's go inside
00:50:45So
00:50:52Have you decided on the final song for the concert?
00:50:56You know, I was thinking we could pick that song together
00:50:58You can find one
00:50:59Jake, it's really hard
00:51:00I mean, the concert is in five days
00:51:03And we're looking for a song that's not just Christmas
00:51:05And not just Hanukkah
00:51:07But can work for both
00:51:08I don't know
00:51:09I'm starting to think that maybe a song like that doesn't even exist
00:51:12Just because we haven't found it doesn't mean it doesn't exist
00:51:15The holidays are a time for having faith
00:51:18Right?
00:51:20You know
00:51:21It's too bad that we don't know someone who writes music
00:51:26Who could make the song exist
00:51:28Hmm?
00:51:31Me?
00:51:31Yeah
00:51:32You want me to write a song?
00:51:32Why not?
00:51:33You do it all the time
00:51:34No, that's different
00:51:34I mean, I love writing music
00:51:36But
00:51:36All right, this is going to sound dumb
00:51:41I can't just write a song about anything
00:51:43It has to be something
00:51:46That needs to be said with music
00:51:49Something
00:51:50Something that can't be said with just words
00:51:53That doesn't sound dumb at all
00:51:56Yeah, well, I don't know if I can find that
00:51:58With some hybrid song about Christmas and Hanukkah
00:52:00Hmm
00:52:01I'm sure you can
00:52:03A wise man once said
00:52:05The holidays are time for having faith
00:52:08Yeah, well, I hate it when people listen to me
00:52:10Look, I think we just need
00:52:14A little holiday inspiration
00:52:16Uh, okay
00:52:17How?
00:52:20Meet me at the Main Street Bar
00:52:21Tonight
00:52:22Hey, hey, how we doing?
00:52:25Oh
00:52:25Hey, hey, doing so good
00:52:27Hi, everyone
00:52:27I love this attitude
00:52:29Music right over there
00:52:31Thank you
00:52:38Roberts, do you know how much I love piano bars?
00:52:41Well, I figured if the music didn't inspire you
00:52:44Maybe the cocktails would
00:52:45Cheers
00:52:46Cheers
00:52:47Mm-hmm
00:52:49Yeah, you know
00:52:52Just figure that desperate times call for dramatic lighting and minor chords
00:52:57Well, it's no miracle of oil
00:52:59But it's a solid start
00:53:01Speaking of miracles
00:53:03When was the last time you were home for Hanukkah?
00:53:07A long time ago
00:53:08Not because I didn't want to
00:53:11I just couldn't figure out a way to do both
00:53:12I've had this dream for my band for so long
00:53:16That I don't know
00:53:17Sometimes it makes me forget what's important
00:53:21Well, the band is important, too
00:53:24I mean, you love music
00:53:27You have since you were a kid
00:53:29And that doesn't mean you love your family any less
00:53:32It just means that some dreams take a little longer to come true
00:53:36Thank you, thank you
00:53:39Thank you, thank you
00:53:41Okay, it's time for our favorite part of the night
00:53:45The microphone is open
00:53:46Who wants to sing?
00:53:48She does
00:53:48No, no, I don't
00:53:49Look, I'm not the only one who's loved music since they were a kid
00:53:52Right over here
00:53:53Great, come on up here
00:53:54Come on, you got this
00:53:55Let's give her a round of encouragement, folks
00:53:57Woo!
00:54:00Come on up to the mic
00:54:01Okay
00:54:03What do you want to sing?
00:54:05Joy to the world
00:54:06You know what?
00:54:08That is a great tune, but I don't know it by heart
00:54:09I do
00:54:11May I, uh
00:54:12Oh, yeah, be my guest
00:54:14Psst, I got you
00:54:28Let's sing it together
00:54:29Joy to the world
00:54:33The Lord is come
00:54:37Let earth receive her king
00:54:45Let every heart prepare him room
00:54:54And heaven and nature sing
00:54:58And heaven and nature sing
00:55:02And heaven and heaven and nature sing
00:55:10And heaven and heaven and nature sing
00:55:22And heaven and heaven and nature sing
00:55:24Well, thanks for walking me home
00:55:36And thanks for the song
00:55:39I knew you could do it
00:55:40I didn't do it
00:55:42We did it
00:55:43So, um, about that song you're gonna write
00:55:50Oh, I have not agreed to write anything
00:55:53Oh, yes, you have, actually
00:55:55Yeah, you have because if you don't
00:55:57I'm gonna tell your mother
00:55:58And she's gonna make you do it
00:55:59Oh, that is low, Robert
00:56:00That is low
00:56:02And you know, once you open that door
00:56:04You'll never be able to shut it
00:56:06You'll be hearing every single detail about my life
00:56:08Until the end of yours
00:56:10I mean, how many times have you heard
00:56:12Jakey needs to settle down with someone very nice
00:56:15And give me grandkids
00:56:16Well, I'm sure your mother has told you
00:56:18That my mother has said the exact same thing about me
00:56:21Once or twice
00:56:22Cool, all right
00:56:25We both know everything about each other
00:56:28Including the fact that we're both single
00:56:31And our parents want us to settle down and have kids
00:56:36I mean, it's not just my parents
00:56:40I want that, too
00:56:41So do I
00:56:44What were we, um
00:56:48What were we talking about?
00:56:51That song you're gonna write
00:56:52Yeah
00:56:54It's Dave
00:57:02Oh, yeah, you should get that
00:57:04I'll see you tomorrow
00:57:05Yeah
00:57:06Okay, goodnight
00:57:07Goodnight
00:57:09Goodnight
00:57:10You have the worst time in the history of the world, Dave
00:57:20Dude, you are not gonna believe this
00:57:22We sold out
00:57:23What are you talking about?
00:57:24We sold out the venue
00:57:25Every single ticket
00:57:27You're kidding
00:57:28No, man, no
00:57:29There's just the best part
00:57:30A manager from a big label is coming
00:57:32So we need to rehearse
00:57:33When are you coming back?
00:57:34Not until after the concert on the 24th
00:57:38No, no
00:57:39The show is Saturday the 29th
00:57:42None of those things are right, Dave
00:57:43Whatever, man
00:57:45It's still not enough time
00:57:46Can you get back earlier?
00:57:48It's kind of important
00:57:49You know
00:57:50Yeah
00:57:51According to this trusty little map here
00:57:57The tables for the bake sale will go in the hall of the church
00:58:01Here
00:58:01So, um, what are you and Jake baking?
00:58:06Mom
00:58:07Well, Jake and I are very busy with the choir
00:58:09We absolutely do not have time to be baking anything
00:58:11I just spoke to Jake's mother and grandmother and...
00:58:15Uh-oh
00:58:15So we decided you and Nikki are baking something
00:58:21In the spirit of cooperation, the way your father and the Reverend are doing with their sermons
00:58:26Right, but we're already cooperating
00:58:28We're directing the choir together
00:58:29But that's for the concert
00:58:30This is a whole different thing
00:58:32Taste my vodka
00:58:33Oh, yeah
00:58:33Mmm
00:58:34It's so good
00:58:36You hate it
00:58:37I just said it was so good
00:58:38Fine, I'll start over
00:58:40What are you and Nikki going to bake?
00:58:42Grandma
00:58:42Nikki is busy organizing the event
00:58:45And I'm supposed to be writing a song
00:58:46Do you eat a little cookie?
00:58:47Oh, yeah
00:58:47Mmm
00:58:48It's delicious
00:58:49Fine, I'll throw it in the trash
00:58:51No
00:58:52No
00:58:52Mom
00:58:53So
00:58:53Then it's settled
00:58:55You and Nikki
00:58:56We'll make something for the sale this afternoon
00:58:58You can use the kitchen at the church
00:59:00Grandma
00:59:01We don't have time to bake
00:59:01The answer is no
00:59:04So have you ever baked before?
00:59:09Yes
00:59:10Successfully
00:59:11Well, it depends on your definition of success
00:59:14Like, no one died
00:59:16No, no, no, no
00:59:17That's something
00:59:17Yeah
00:59:18Oh, okay, great
00:59:22My mom just texted me a recipe for gingerbread cookies
00:59:25Yeah, mine just sent me one for arugula
00:59:27Let's print these out
00:59:28Okay, great
00:59:33So we just follow the recipe, right?
00:59:35Mm-hmm
00:59:35Got the ingredients and the equipment, so
00:59:38Yeah, I'm thinking we just start with one
00:59:40And gingerbread looks easier than this
00:59:42Yeah
00:59:43So
00:59:43I agree
00:59:44Okay, great
00:59:44Okay
00:59:46Okay, what's first?
00:59:47Uh, milk
00:59:47We always start with milk
00:59:48And then we go to
00:59:50Oh
00:59:50Oh, I got it
00:59:51Sorry
00:59:52I'm already messing up here
00:59:54Yeah, perfect
01:00:00Perfect
01:00:00Okay
01:00:01Cheers
01:00:02Thanks for more
01:00:03A marshmallow world in the winter
01:00:05When the snow comes to cover the ground
01:00:09It's a time for play
01:00:12It's a whipped cream day
01:00:14I'll wait for it the whole year round
01:00:18It's a yum, yummy world made for sweethearts
01:00:21Take a walk with your favorite girl
01:00:25It's a sugar date
01:00:28What if spring is late
01:00:30And winter, it's a marshmallow world
01:00:34And winter, it's a marshmallow world
01:00:38They spread out
01:00:40We follow the recipe
01:00:43Uh-oh
01:00:44What, uh-oh?
01:00:45Don't say uh-oh
01:00:46I think we got the pages messed up
01:00:48First one is gingerbread
01:00:49Second one is rugelach
01:00:50What?
01:00:50Oh, come on
01:00:52Are you serious?
01:00:52That's okay
01:00:53Maybe
01:00:53Maybe they're not so bad
01:00:55Yeah?
01:00:56Yeah
01:00:57Try one
01:00:57I'm not trying one
01:00:58You try one
01:00:59I'm not trying one
01:00:59No
01:01:00You know what?
01:01:01They're fine
01:01:01It's gonna be fine
01:01:02They're-they're-they're cookies
01:01:04It's so
01:01:04They're not perfect
01:01:06But
01:01:06But
01:01:07Maybe things don't always have to be perfect
01:01:10Well, well, well
01:01:13Look at you
01:01:14But they do have to be good
01:01:16Because our mothers will be there
01:01:17Yeah
01:01:18All right, new plan
01:01:20We hide them in the back
01:01:20Where no one will see them
01:01:21Yes, I'd love a man with a plan
01:01:27Well, these look good, honey
01:01:42Let's try one
01:01:43Ooh
01:01:47We'll check two
01:01:49You like them?
01:01:54Try one?
01:01:56Yeah
01:01:56Here goes nothing
01:01:58These are delicious
01:02:05These are great
01:02:06It's like a mash-up of Hanukkah and Christmas
01:02:09This is it
01:02:11This is how we do the song
01:02:12Instead of writing something entirely new
01:02:16We take something classically Christmas
01:02:17And add a little Hanukkah to it
01:02:20That's brilliant
01:02:21Thank you
01:02:22Yeah
01:02:22It's like, um
01:02:23I heard the bells on Hanukkah night
01:02:26Yeah
01:02:26Or
01:02:27Or the 12 days of Christmas
01:02:29But you have
01:02:30The 8 days of Hanukkah
01:02:31Yeah, yeah
01:02:31J.J.
01:02:33Hi
01:02:33And Nicky
01:02:35Oh
01:02:36Look what you've done
01:02:37I'll try one
01:02:44Try one
01:02:44Mm-hmm
01:02:45Mm-hmm
01:02:46Oi
01:02:52These cookies are incredible
01:02:54Mm-hmm
01:02:55It's lame
01:02:56You should try these
01:02:58Boy to the world
01:03:01That's it
01:03:02That's it
01:03:03That's it
01:03:07That's it
01:03:07That's perfect
01:03:07Yeah
01:03:08I hope you know
01:03:13I love it
01:03:23Yeah, you do
01:03:25It's so good
01:03:27Wow
01:03:29Now the only thing I'm worried about
01:03:31And it's not a criticism
01:03:32Wow
01:03:32Is the first verse
01:03:35Are the kids going to be able to sing it in unison?
01:03:37Huh
01:03:37Yeah
01:03:38Yeah, that first verse
01:03:40It's really more of a solo
01:03:41Isn't it?
01:03:44I wrote it for you to sing
01:03:46No
01:03:46No
01:03:47We talked about this
01:03:48What?
01:03:49You sang at the piano bar?
01:03:50I mean
01:03:51That's because you sang with me
01:03:52Okay
01:03:53Well, what if we sing the first verse together?
01:03:59I could be okay
01:04:00It's going to be better than okay
01:04:03Try it again
01:04:05I need it to be perfect, right?
01:04:09Yeah
01:04:09Yeah
01:04:09Perfect
01:04:10Yeah, let's do it
01:04:12Let's do it
01:04:13Um, why did your mom invite me to Hanukkah dinner tonight?
01:04:22She wants you to try on her wedding dress, see if it fits
01:04:24I'm kidding
01:04:27Now I'm really nervous
01:04:29Like, you don't need to be nervous
01:04:30You came to Hanukkah dinner a million times
01:04:32It's always exactly the same
01:04:35Okay
01:04:35You just have to follow the rules
01:04:37What rules?
01:04:38Happy Hanukkah!
01:04:40My mom will complain that everything she's made is ruined
01:04:43Mmm
01:04:44Something smells wonderful
01:04:46No, terrible
01:04:47I burned the brisket
01:04:48Ignore the comment entirely
01:04:50The house looks great
01:04:51She'll say the house is a mess
01:04:53Do not disagree with her
01:04:54But also, do not agree
01:04:56This whole thing?
01:04:58It's a mess
01:04:59But it's a roof over our head
01:05:00And for that, I'm thankful
01:05:02When the latkes come out, she will complain that the oil went bad
01:05:07And they are inedible
01:05:08The oil was no good
01:05:09I don't know if we should eat it
01:05:10They may be terrible
01:05:12Eat it anyway
01:05:13Your only job is to say that they're the best things you've ever eaten
01:05:17Mmm
01:05:18These are delicious
01:05:19And most importantly, no matter what you do
01:05:22Keep the conversation light
01:05:23Weather
01:05:24Weather is a safe topic
01:05:26Everything else is a trap
01:05:28So, Nikki, how are the kids in the choir doing?
01:05:31Mmm
01:05:31Ah, they're...
01:05:33They're doing great
01:05:34Children, they are such a blessing
01:05:37Weather, weather, talk about the weather
01:05:40Yes, yes, they are
01:05:42I just, I love kids
01:05:43That's so wonderful to hear
01:05:45So when are you going to have some of your own?
01:05:47Ma
01:05:48Um
01:05:50Hey, I heard it's going to snow
01:05:52Did you hear that?
01:05:53Let's raise a glass
01:05:55Yeah
01:05:55To our dear friends
01:05:58And to the young people that brighten our lives
01:06:01L'chaim
01:06:02L'chaim
01:06:03L'chaim
01:06:04L'chaim
01:06:17L'chaim
01:06:20L'chaim
01:06:20L'chaim
01:06:30L'chaim
01:06:31L'chaim
01:06:31I'll work on it.
01:06:59You better.
01:07:00Aww.
01:07:02This song is really great, Jake.
01:07:07My pleasure.
01:07:09So, um, I still have a million things to do before the concert tomorrow.
01:07:13Okay, well, what can I, uh, what can I do to help?
01:07:15Oh, nothing.
01:07:16It's all boring detail stuff.
01:07:17I love boring detail stuff.
01:07:19Look, I don't love boring detail stuff, but I can do it.
01:07:22It just requires focus, right?
01:07:24Mm-hmm.
01:07:25In fact, I would say that I am so just razor-focused these days
01:07:29that I can do the boring detail stuff better than you can.
01:07:32Oh, is that right, Cohen?
01:07:34Yeah, that's right.
01:07:35Okay, well, I will challenge you to that.
01:07:38My little trusty helper elf.
01:07:40That's me. I'm a helper elf.
01:07:42Here you go.
01:07:43Things to do list.
01:07:44First one back here wins.
01:07:45Wins what?
01:07:46Dinner.
01:07:47Done.
01:07:48Just checking. Did you just ask me out?
01:07:51Yes, I did.
01:07:54Checking?
01:08:07Grandma?
01:08:08Hey!
01:08:09Turkey!
01:08:10What are you doing here?
01:08:11I'm picking up dreidel cookies.
01:08:13What's wrong with mom's cookies?
01:08:15Saved by the bell.
01:08:19Dave?
01:08:20Dude, how fast can you get back to the city?
01:08:22Uh, what?
01:08:23Why?
01:08:24We have a meeting with the label.
01:08:25When?
01:08:26Tomorrow.
01:08:27Tomorrow?
01:08:28Yeah, tomorrow.
01:08:29Is there an echo?
01:08:30No.
01:08:31I thought they were coming to see us live
01:08:32and then deciding if they wanted to meet us.
01:08:34Tomorrow is the last night of Hanukkah,
01:08:37and it's also Christmas Eve.
01:08:38We've got the kids concert.
01:08:39I can't miss that.
01:08:40Dude, it's the only day that he can make it work.
01:08:42J-Cat, this is our shot, man.
01:08:45We could get a record label.
01:08:47You know, we could tour the country.
01:08:49We could be a headliner for once, man,
01:08:51not just the opening act.
01:08:52Dave, buddy, I...
01:08:54I...
01:08:55I can't.
01:08:56I promised I'd be here for the concert.
01:08:58I promised Nikki I'd sing with her.
01:09:00Okay, but you know, can't she...
01:09:01She won't do it by herself.
01:09:03She won't do it by herself.
01:09:04Look, I...
01:09:05I gotta go.
01:09:06I'll call you later.
01:09:07Jake, no.
01:09:08Sounds like a big opportunity.
01:09:12I can't leave Nikki.
01:09:15I can't leave the kids.
01:09:17The kids will be fine.
01:09:18The kids.
01:09:19They adapt.
01:09:21As for Nikki, do you remember when...
01:09:26When you were a kid and you were afraid to light the menorah at Hanukkah?
01:09:30You were so worried you'd do it wrong.
01:09:33You had to have me or your mother guide your hand.
01:09:37Eventually, we told you to do it on your own.
01:09:40You never would have if we hadn't.
01:09:42Nikki needs to do this on her own.
01:09:46Or else she never will.
01:09:50Grandma...
01:09:53The thing with me and Nikki is...
01:09:57More than just the concert.
01:09:59I know, Bobala.
01:10:03Well...
01:10:04I would never ask you to give up your dream.
01:10:07No matter how much I wanted you to stay here.
01:10:10If the thing with you and Nikki...
01:10:12Is more than the concert.
01:10:14Just for her also.
01:10:16And she wouldn't be in.
01:10:25Hey.
01:10:26You know, I'm thinking steak.
01:10:28No, lobster.
01:10:29You know what?
01:10:30Both.
01:10:31Since you're paying.
01:10:36Why do you have a duffel bag?
01:10:37I can't believe I'm about to say this.
01:10:39I have to go back to New York.
01:10:41What?
01:10:42When?
01:10:43Tonight.
01:10:45Right now.
01:10:46We have a meeting tomorrow with a label.
01:10:50But...
01:10:51Jake...
01:10:52The concert is tomorrow.
01:10:56The kids need you.
01:10:58I need you.
01:11:00Nikki, I've been trying for almost 20 years to have a meeting with one of these labels.
01:11:06What if this is my last chance?
01:11:08Yeah.
01:11:11Yeah.
01:11:13You have to go.
01:11:14Trust me.
01:11:15I don't want to.
01:11:16I don't.
01:11:18I mean...
01:11:19Tell me not to go and I won't go.
01:11:21I'll stay here.
01:11:22Not in a million years.
01:11:26You have to go.
01:11:27Tell the kids that I'm...
01:11:28I will.
01:11:39Tell the kids that I'm...
01:11:40I will.
01:11:41I have to go...
01:11:42I have to go.
01:11:43I have to go.
01:11:44You have to go.
01:11:45I am fond of this.
01:11:46I am fond of this.
01:11:48I don't understand.
01:12:02I don't understand.
01:12:03This is all my fault.
01:12:08It's always the mother's fault.
01:12:10Okay, enough, everybody.
01:12:12Nikki, you're saying we should cancel the concert.
01:12:14All I said was Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah
01:12:17and then all this happened.
01:12:19But yes, I think we should cancel the concert.
01:12:21Honey, why?
01:12:21Because the kids are expecting both of us to be up there.
01:12:24And then there's the song that we're supposed to sing together
01:12:26and I can't do that by myself.
01:12:29Sweetheart, listen to me.
01:12:30I know it's disappointing.
01:12:31But no, listen, this is a huge opportunity for him.
01:12:34He had to go.
01:12:35And break his mother's heart.
01:12:38Then why cancel the concert?
01:12:39Because I don't know how to do this without him.
01:12:42The way we had it worked out was perfect.
01:12:44Honey, it was never going to be perfect.
01:12:47There's no such thing.
01:12:48You know that.
01:12:49Exactly, exactly.
01:12:50What he said, Nikki.
01:12:51You know the word mitzvah.
01:12:53It means good deed, right?
01:12:54But it's not just about the end results.
01:12:57It's about the intention, striving to do good.
01:13:00To do your best.
01:13:01And nobody's going to expect anything more from you
01:13:03other than to try.
01:13:06So, you do the concert.
01:13:09You sing.
01:13:11We have some kugel.
01:13:13That's it.
01:13:16Great.
01:13:17Done.
01:13:17Perfect.
01:13:18All right.
01:13:18Good.
01:13:20Food won't go to waste.
01:13:21The kids will be happy.
01:13:23You did it yourself.
01:13:24You're wonderful.
01:13:27Well, I know, I know, I know.
01:13:29I wish you were here, too.
01:13:31But I have faith in you.
01:13:33All of you.
01:13:34You're going to be great.
01:13:35We're not nervous for us.
01:13:37Yeah.
01:13:38We're nervous for Jake.
01:13:39Yeah, Jake.
01:13:40Well, can we send him, like, a good luck video?
01:13:42Yeah.
01:13:43It's a good idea.
01:13:44You know what?
01:13:45That's a great idea.
01:13:46Yes.
01:13:47Okay, I'm going to find my phone.
01:13:48I don't know where it went.
01:13:57That went so well.
01:13:59I can't believe how good that meeting went.
01:14:01How?
01:14:01Great.
01:14:02Yeah, well, well.
01:14:03You were prepared?
01:14:04Thankfully, because I was not prepared.
01:14:07You were great, man.
01:14:11Good luck, Jake.
01:14:12Good luck, Jake.
01:14:14Hi, Jake.
01:14:15I don't know if you've had your meeting yet, but I just wanted to wish you good luck and tell you how much I believe in you.
01:14:21You deserve it, and I know you're going to get signed.
01:14:24Happy Annika.
01:14:25Dude, those are the kids and the girl?
01:14:29What time's the concert?
01:14:30Can we make it?
01:14:33Huh?
01:14:34We got to go right now.
01:14:35Yeah, it's coming.
01:14:36Yeah?
01:14:36Let's go.
01:14:37Let's go.
01:14:37Let's go.
01:14:38Let's go.
01:14:38Let's go.
01:14:48Miss Markle.
01:14:49Hey, Miss Markle.
01:14:50Hi, Miss Markle.
01:14:51Hello, hello.
01:14:53Happy Annika.
01:14:54Merry Christmas.
01:14:56Oh, don't you all look so nice?
01:14:59Just wanted to wish you good luck, just wanted to wish you good luck and tell you that we are all so very proud of all of you.
01:15:06Thank you so much.
01:15:07Thank you, Miss Markle.
01:15:08How are you doing, sweetheart?
01:15:09I'm, uh, I'm, uh, I'm fine.
01:15:12Oh, it's going to be fine, Nicky.
01:15:17Hanukkah, Christmas, they're both about miracles.
01:15:19All right, you got this.
01:15:24All right, kids, keep that energy up.
01:15:29Okay, all right.
01:15:30All right, let's loosen up, okay?
01:15:32We're going to get ready for this.
01:15:34All right, in a circle.
01:15:36Here we go.
01:15:37Put your hands in the air.
01:15:38Let me hear you scream.
01:15:39Woo!
01:15:40All right, good job, Zach Attack.
01:15:42Let me hear you scream, E-Dog.
01:15:44Woo!
01:15:44Woo!
01:15:46Now that's what I call enthusiasm.
01:15:52Happy Hanukkah.
01:15:53And Merry Christmas.
01:15:55We are so grateful to everyone at St. Joe's for welcoming us into your home.
01:16:02And into your hearts.
01:16:04And to the whole community for supporting us.
01:16:07I'm so pleased to announce that after several days of donations,
01:16:12we finally have enough to help repair Temple Beth Am.
01:16:21And how did we do that?
01:16:23With love.
01:16:25That is the message of both our holidays.
01:16:28Of Hanukkah.
01:16:29Of Christmas.
01:16:30Love sees no race, no creed, no color.
01:16:36Love sees no religion.
01:16:39When we focus on our differences, we lose our commonality.
01:16:44We are all people of faith, people of love.
01:16:54Whether we're sitting around the Christmas tree or celebrating Hanukkah,
01:16:58lighting the Advent candles or the menorah,
01:17:01what more must we have in common?
01:17:04And in that spirit, please welcome, under the direction of Nicky Roberts,
01:17:10the Temple Beth Am and St. Joseph Episcopal Community Choir.
01:17:15Hello, everyone.
01:17:29We'll be performing a song arranged by Jake Cohen.
01:17:33Is everyone ready?
01:17:35Okay.
01:17:35Joy to the world.
01:17:41Joy to the world.
01:17:43Joy to the world.
01:17:56The Lord is come.
01:17:59Let earth receive her King.
01:18:03Let every heart before Him room.
01:18:08And heaven and nature sing.
01:18:11And heaven and nature sing.
01:18:13And heaven and nature sing.
01:18:18The light's all bright for all eight nights.
01:18:26The miracle of Hanukkah is here.
01:18:31We're so alive.
01:18:33Our spirits high.
