Hanukkah+ is a compilation album featuring songs themed around the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
Music producer Randall Poster was inspired by the annual Hanukkah concerts put on by Yo La Tengo. Ira Kaplan, the frontman of the band, remarked that he felt the holiday "could use some spotlight". Although he is Jewish, not all of his bandmates are, but all enjoyed the challenge of playing eight nights in a row in contrast with "all the hoopla over Christmas".
Poster highlighted Jack Black's performance on the album as "the gift wrapping".
The album was sold at "nontraditional" retailers, such as synagogue gift shops.
