the variation in the music from this familiar song makes you think another time the meaning of the words. When I saw this I thought, children are really a gift .

It's so dificult for me to find a hannukah CD (or anything hanuka, including cards) in europe. I guess another year without hannukah music at home around the table...

I especially liked that the children singing in this video are serious . I know it's supposed to be a children's holiday, but sometimes people overdo the childish part and it perturbs even the children. I remember from my childhood. Music is a discipline and an art. Jewish holidays are meaningful for us and we shoudn't copy Christmas and overdo certain things.

Chanukah, oh Chanukah, come light the Menorah
Chanukah, oh Chanukah, come light the Menorah
Gather around the table and let’s have a treat
Happy songs we’ll sing and latkes we’ll eat

And while we are singing
The candles are burning bright
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
And remind us of days long ago

Oh Chanukah, oh Chanukah, a festival of joy
A holiday, a jolly day, for every girl and boy
Gather around the table and let’s have a treat
Happy songs we’ll sing and latkes we’ll eat

And while we are singing
We’ll think of those days long ago
And then we’ll tell the story of the miracles, glory
And dance by the candles burning low

the song we sing in our choir is like this, but different.
it goes:
Light the bright Menorah, we'll all dance the hora, now we light the candles eight in a row watch them burning brightly cheerfully glow, tell a story__ tell story. Story of the days of old, Judea Maccabee fought to set his people free he was fearless courageous and bold!
