Lighting the Menorah; a song about this sacred tradition.
11 Comments Posted
Every night I light the candles on my own, but thanks to your site, I feels as if I were lighting them with everyone I love and far away.
I discovered "Ner Rishon" this holiday and love it, singing along like a kid!!!
Happy Chanukah,
Love, Murielle A.

I was researching Jewish music for my childrens sunday primary class. I thought this was a delightful song which I shall be sharing with them.
Thanks for sharing

I remember when my grammy sung for me.
Thank you very much I missing her so long she left me.

This is a fantastic song and a fantastic lilt. With songs like this the little Jewish kids that are very assimilated and the little Christian kids will be knocking down your doors to get into your school. I am very glad to see an American form of learning Judaism instead of the shtettle method which was to either shove it down a kid's throat or beat him over the head. You guys are making learning very enjoyable in comparison to learning in the Lubavitch Yeshiva in 1945-48. That type of learning turned me off completely but this new and enjoyable method will certainly bring you much success in your endeavors.

We were looking for new educational entertainment for the kids. This is a great resource for us.
Thanks!

I was looking for a song that would be edu-taining for our winter concert. This is perfect! I know my Kindergarten class will enjoying singing it!

I'd like to purchase (download) Oh Chanukah. I don't know if it's possible on this website. I haven't been able to find it on music websites. Please advise.

g d bless every jew. enjoy chanukkah

The candles are meant to be lit from right to left not left to right. I love this song, but it's wrong.
|
Actually, the song has it right (no pun intended).
We first light only the rightmost candle, and add one toward the left each night. When we actually kindle the lights, we begin with the new one (on the left) and move toward the right. We do so since the newly added light demonstrates the constantly increasing miracle of the lasting oil in the Holy Temple (Code of Jewish Law 676:5).

i love to know that the light will always shine on the jewish people.the lights will be brighter every year..enjoy every minute of this fabulous holiday. chag sameach
