What do you do when you're Jewish and Christmas season rolls around?
Rob Tannenbaum has the perfect solution: His "Put the Ha! In Hanukkah" tour.
The journalist, author of the "The History of the First Decade of MTV," screen plays and Broadway shows, likens himself to Bloomingdale's. He's open all year, but December is his busiest month.
The wares he sells are songs and jokes poking fun at himself and those who were born to patronize Chinese restaurants instead of sharing Christmas presents and traditions. Each December, he and his stage partner David Fagin crisscross the country to convulse audiences with their latest ditties about the traumas and delights that have touched their people.
They thumb their noses at the Nazis and other past persecutors in 'They Tried To Kill Us, We Survived, Let's Eat." "Today I Am A Man" addresses the absurdity of spending $50,000 on a Bar Mitzvah for a thirteen-year-old boy, and "Going Down to Boca" makes fun of the annual winter flight of snow-bound New Yorkers to balmy Florida. They even hitch up "Reuben, the Hook-Nosed Reindeer" to the team guiding Santa's sleigh, assuring their audience that "It's Good To be A Jew At Christmas."
Tannenbaum begins composing by looking for common Jewish experiences. Take for instance his song "Today I Am A Man" that every Jewish man can identify with. It ridicules the idea of a boy becoming a man the day he turns 13 just because the rabbi says he does.
When he was growing up and forced to go to Hebrew school, he hated the music they played. It reminded him of Peter, Paul and Mary singing lyrics from the Old Testament. A fan of Mel Brooks, Paul Simon, Carol King, and Leonard Cohen, he decided to write Jewish music that was a cross between pop songs and favorite comedians.
It's not as if Christmas and bad music were the only things Tannenbaum chuckles about overcoming. His surname, for instance, has been a lifelong curse. For eleven months of the year, nobody can spell it. Then when December rolls around, everyone wants to sing it to him. He began performing his show around the country ten or eleven years ago, about the time Jon Stewart and Jerry Seinfeld brought the whole idea of being Jewish to TV. It was new then; now it's hip.
He always draws a crowd, a goodly mixture of Jews and non-Jews. The most fun for him is the improvisation when he goes out into the audience to sing or joke with them. On one occasion, he was singing to a couple when the guy pulled an engagement ring out of his pocket and proposed to the girl. Someone in the row behind called out, "That was staged!"
It wasn't. In fact, Tannenbaum was invited to officiate at their wedding in San Francisco and ended up becoming ordained for the occasion by one of the liberal religious groups in that city.
Every New Year's Eve, he packs away the Ha! in Hanukkah for another year. But no matter how involved he becomes in other projects, he is always open to being a guest on Comedy Central's The Daily Show. He promises that he'll make it if the security people will stop throwing him out of the building. Every time the phone rings, he jumps up, certain it's Jon Stewart calling.
