I find comfort and joy in listening to the Yiddish songs, although I understand very little of the language.

Wonderful
I am a Jew and celebrate Chanukah. My husband sings this song after we light the menorah and I love it every time he sings. He has a beautiful voice.
I think it's a wonderful song and this is gorgeous because there are children singing it!

My Great Grandmother emigrated from Germany. She spoke Yiddish, later on we found out she came from a devote Jewish family. I'm trying to found out a little about my past. So thanks.

I thought it might be nice to hear a traditional singing of HaNerot Halelu without the confusion of instrument in the background since that isn't how it sounds in a home or Shul. It would be even nicer if we could download lyrics for the song on the site. Happy Chanukkah!!!

a new song to me
Would prefer a less orchestral version so that I might learn the tune. Thanks for the words in Hebrew and English

Though it is difficult to learn the tune with this version, I love the arrangement !! I look forward to listening to it after the chanukah lighting. Thanks

Thanks so much for sharing this song. I have been listening to christmas music for the past week on some radio stations and called the station to find out if there was a way they could use some songs from other celebrations. Now I am able to send this to them and maybe they will share it with others. Shalom

Education instead of orchestration
It would be great if there could be a less shlocky version up here so people could actually learn how to sing this with their families. It's a real shortcoming that year after year it's still the same overproduced multi-instrumental version instead of something where people could actually learn the melody properly.

Wonderful! Quite revealing... I adore them.

To Disapointed
Don't your point. May be you where expecting other melody. But this is the Chabad nigun as it is sung on every Chabad shul around the world. Without orchestration but the choir is the same, may be not so beautiful voices.
That's the way we do.
Enjoy, bring friends, neighbors, family light your chanukia eat latkales, sufganiots let`s all together remove darkness and bring Mashiach

Thanks so much, but
Can you also post a slower and non-instrumental version so that people can learn to sing it at home more easily?

Could you please make the audio quality better? As I think its rather poor.

Negative
Surprised about the orchestration guy - go elsewhere instead of getting disappointed year after year. I love this version and come back 2-3 times a week to listen to Jewish music.

this is a difficult version
This version is inaccessible to those who are unaccustomed to the song. It is a turn-off. The actual song doesn't start until 1:30 into it. I'm sorry, but I think this is typical of the parochialism that Jews show towards each other. You are so enamored of your own version you aren't thinking of what makes something, well, accessible, to newcomers or the unfamiliar. It's unfortunate. Despite being raised as a Jew, I've never heard this song and was seeking a good example I could sing in my house while I light my candles. Truly, a simpler version might be appealing to those like me. Thank you.
