I’ve been singing “Five Little Gefiltes,” in honor of Hanukkah. Though it isn’t a Hanukkah song, I love that it celebrates some delightful aspects of Jewish culture, including food, Yiddish, and humor. This is one of my top favorite Singable Picture Books of all. Though I’ve sung it many times, it never fails to make me giggle.
