Answering the age-old question of what Jewish children do on Christmas, 11-Year-Old BroadwayWorld Award-Winner Joshua Turchin has released the official video for his original single "What's a Jew to Do on Christmas?" which will be available this holiday season on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, among other stations and distribution channels.
As a Jewish child who appreciates all religions - and especially loves Christmas - Joshua Turchin wrote the song to celebrate a typical Jewish Christmas, while acknowledging that we all need to come together and celebrate a mutual respect for one another. Turchin says, "Even though I don't celebrate Christmas, it's a wonderful day because it is a very important holiday for my Christian friends."
Turchin composed the music, wrote the lyrics and created the arrangements for the instruments. He also plays the piano, drums, acoustic guitar and bells on the track.
Featuring:
Joshua Turchin: Vocals, Drums, Acoustic Guitar, Bells, Piano
Madeleine Pace: (Broadway's ONCE): Backup Vocals
Shaina Turchin: Backup Vocals
Tomas Doncker (Internationally renowned guitarist and recording artist): Electric and acoustic guitar

Turchin plans to donate a portion of the proceeds from the single to the organizations Betty Cares and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.
