Hanukkah Party DJ Los Angeles
Bilingual DJ & MC for Hanukkah Celebrations Across Los Angeles
Bilingual DJ & MC for Hanukkah Celebrations Across Los Angeles
Hanukkah brings out a different kind of celebration — the warmth of candlelight, the joy of Israeli and Hebrew music, and a room full of people from every generation. On Air Productions LA has spent years bringing that energy to corporate Hanukkah parties, synagogue and community celebrations, school events, and private family gatherings throughout Los Angeles.
DJ Gilad Emesh, Israeli-born and fully bilingual in Hebrew and English, doesn't treat the menorah lighting as an afterthought between songs — he builds the evening's music and MC narration around it, so the candle-lighting moment lands with the weight it deserves before the room shifts into an upbeat Israeli, Hebrew, and American dance set. He brings that same cultural fluency to Purim parties, matching the holiday's celebratory, high-energy spirit for synagogues, schools, and private hosts.
From an office party in Encino to a synagogue celebration in Beverly Hills or a community event in Tarzana or Calabasas, we scale the production to the occasion — a DJ and bilingual MC for an intimate gathering, or a full LED video wall and lighting setup for a larger corporate or community Hanukkah party.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you DJ Hanukkah parties, or only weddings and b'nai mitzvah?
Hanukkah parties are a core part of what we do every winter. We perform at corporate Hanukkah parties, synagogue and community celebrations, school events, and private family gatherings across Los Angeles, bringing the same DJ, bilingual MC, and production quality we bring to Israeli and Jewish weddings — scaled to whatever kind of Hanukkah event you're hosting.
Can you build the music and MC moment around the menorah lighting?
Yes — the candle-lighting moment deserves its own build, not a random song fade-out. DJ Gilad Emesh, Israeli-born and fluent in Hebrew and English, times the music and bilingual MC narration around the menorah lighting so it lands as the meaningful centerpiece of the evening, then transitions the room straight into an upbeat Israeli and Hebrew music set.
What kind of music do you play at a Hanukkah party?
We build a set around Israeli and Hebrew favorites, modern Israeli pop, and classic holiday songs, blended with American music so the whole room — from grandparents to kids to coworkers — has something to dance to. For corporate Hanukkah parties we can keep the tone more polished; for community and family events we lean into the Israeli party energy.
Do you also DJ Purim parties?
We do. Purim calls for high-energy, celebratory music and an MC who can read the room's costume-party spirit, and we bring the same Israeli and Hebrew music expertise and bilingual MC service to Purim events as we do for Hanukkah — for synagogues, schools, and private hosts across LA.
Can you provide LED screens and lighting for a corporate or synagogue Hanukkah party?
Yes. For corporate Hanukkah parties and larger synagogue or community celebrations, we offer LED video walls, uplighting, and a full AV setup alongside the DJ and MC — everything needed to turn a banquet hall or office space into a proper event for the night.
How far in advance should we book a Hanukkah party DJ in Los Angeles?
Hanukkah is one of our busiest weeks of the year, with corporate, synagogue, and private parties often falling on the same handful of nights. We recommend booking 2–3 months ahead of the holiday to guarantee your date, especially if you want a bilingual MC or added production like LED screens.
Real Reviews
What Our Clients Say
“Honestly couldn't have asked for a better DJ experience. We booked On Air Productions LA for our wedding and DJ Gilad Emesh absolutely crushed it. From the first song to the last, the energy was exactly what we wanted. He really knows how to read the crowd and keep people dancing nonstop. Super easy to work with, very professional and such a great vibe overall. If you're thinking about booking them, just do it. You won't regret it.”
“On Air Productions played at our Persian wedding and they were absolutely perfect. They understood the flow of a Persian wedding completely — the classical music during dinner, the mix of Persian and Western pop, the energy building throughout the night. Our families were blown away.”
“DJ Gilad provided the music and lighting for my wedding! He played an excellent mix of music and had people on the dance floor all night long! Gilad is super nice, flexible, and easy to work with. I'm so glad we chose him and I'd 100% recommend him for any upcoming event!”
“We chose On Air Productions after meeting three other DJ companies and we're so glad we did. Gilad came to our venue walkthrough, understood the outdoor sound challenges, and on the night everything was crystal clear. He read the crowd better than any DJ we've ever seen.”
