The Tower of Eder (Migdal Eder) is mentioned in Genesis; it’s the monument Jacob erected at his wife Rachel’s tomb, near Bethlehem. It’s also connected with Christmas via Micah, who prophesied that from the Tower of Eder would come the Messiah; you know the rest.
That being the case, it
seems like “Dance at Migdal Eder” by Christy Nockels is exactly right for this
season. It’s a foot-tapping, joy-inducing corker that people need at this time
of year. Here’s fiddler herself performing it.
