Once again, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and producer Greg Kurstin have teamed up to celebrate Hanukkah by performing songs created by musicians with Jewish roots. Above, they perform–along with Jack Black–Rush’s “The Spirit Of Radio.” (Geddy Lee’s parents were both Jews who survived Auschwitz and Dachau. Lee tells their story below.) Other songs featured in this year’s celebration include Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.,” “Spinning Wheel” by Blood, Sweat & Tears, Janis Ian’s “At Seventeen” and more. Find performances from prior Hanukkah celebrations in the Relateds below.
