Chanuka and Passover At Bubbe’s Directed by Sheila Scott, Michelle Baron, & Len Levitt, 2003

Kids of all ages will find pure enjoyment celebrating Chanuka & Passover at Bubbe’s, everybody’s beloved grandmother. Join in a joyful romp with a host of colorful muppet-like characters. There is Anton the bully, who insists on having things his way, Rhino, who “horns” in before he understands the situation, Chester, who tries too hard to fit in, practical Zachary and adorable Muffin. While this delightful group prepares for a traditional Chanuka feast, we witness the past as Bubbe relates the story of Chanuka – the fight between the Greeks and the Maccabees – the miracle of the burning oil – the importance of religious freedom for all people. And, while Bubbe prepares for her annual Passover Seder, they are surprised by a talking Haggadah and are magically whisked back to Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs. There, they personally experience the trials of captivity and ultimately, a triumphant escape to freedom.
