About Tonight

>> It's the first night of Hanukkah, so if you're not celebrating with family and friends at home, consider catching the Sinai Mountain Boys, a Maryland combo that melds the speedy strumming and twanging of bluegrass with Orthodox Jewish melodies. They'll be offering an hour of unique sounds for free beginning at 6 p.m. at the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage.

>> The Washington Jewish Film Festival presents Diane Crespo and Stefan Schaefer's Arranged, the story of two women from different traditional religious backgrounds who bond over the same problem: Their families' attempts at matchmaking. 8:30 p.m., at the DCJCC's Aaron and Cecile Goldman Theater, $10 tickets available here.

>> Glue, Def Jux's Hangar 18, and Maryland's Educated Consumers bring their non-gangsta rap tonight to DC9. $10, 8:30 pm.

>> Best-selling historian Julie M. Fenster will be at the Penn Quarter Olsson's to read from The Case of Abraham Lincoln: A Story of Adultery, Murder, and the Making of a Great President. Because really, who doesn't love a little Lincoln lore? 7 p.m.
