Sounds Jewish: Hanukah 2009

It's a Sounds Jewish Hanukah special, and Jason Solomons looks ahead to the festival of light, latkes and cholesterol with comedian and Yiddish maestro David Schneider and American singer-songwriter Sean Altman. They'll be wondering why Jewish boxer Dmitriy Salita lasted only 76 seconds against Amir Khan – and whether that means the long tradition of Jews in the ring has taken a knock. Expert guidance comes from the Observer's boxing maven, Kevin Mitchell.

They'll be looking back on a decade that has included more than its fair share of highs and lows, with some of their favourite Jewish moments since 2000 – and the ones they'd rather forget.

And the Jewish Princesses will tell us how to cook up a Hanukah storm, with their very own coronary-inducing recipe for latkes.

So come on, throw a bucket of oil on the stove and tuck in.
