ONE
Yes We Can An inspired message. It touched my heart and spirit in the first few lines. I felt encouraged and enpowered. Thanks!
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem I have enjoyed watching these films about Hannukkah. I started lighting a Menorah a few years ago. I sensed a calling to light one for those who were forbidden to. I God Bless us all!
spelling Add A "C".
wow!! this video is so special! i know this was President Obama's campaign line last year, but the fact is we, as a Jewish people, have pushed through all the odds, and survived, hudreds, actually thousands of years of progroms, persecutions, and ennemies who tried to destroy us.... As Jews we believe YES WE CAN!!!! no matter how tough or dark it may look...Happy Chnaukah to all!
Channukka
Peoria AZ!
Happy Channukka 2009
L'chaim!
omain! to Peoria AZ. I too feel closer than ever to the land of Israel due to things changeing here in the US. I light our menorah this year for dedicating (for Hannukkah means dedication) ourselves to be a light to the world . Shine on Israel "and cry out and shout , you that lives in Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of you".
Chanukkah as presented by Chabad I am against nationalized (socialist) health care in this counry. I am a capitalist. I am a conservative first! I am sad to see Chabad take a slogan from the Obama team. I did not vote for Obama as he is a leftist. He is the most liberal leader (if you can call him that) that we have ever had in this country. I feel more tied to Israel than the U.S. At least they have a conservative.
Hanukka - Yes We Can
A good positive statement, don't appreciate using this particular one, as is to closely tied to recent political campain. Appears Chabad is politically tied to Obama.
No nat'l healthcare, death committes, abortion many issues that are not of life. If islam shuts off xtianity, when will it douse your menorah?
yes we can!
Yes, Yes......
We can!

Sources
Dear Angela K Safonoff, Peoria, AZ,
The article in Wikipedia on 'Hanukkah'
gives all the traditional sources of the Chanukah story (including Talmudic source)....Sorry--this site did not accept my post with the link in it, so just go to Wikipedia and spell Hannukkah as I have in this post...:-)...
Happy Chanukah!
yes we can video Inspiring, colorful ! We can keep the light, transfer the light, increase the light...Yes, we must.
this video IS original
for those comments that this video is not original, I happen to know for a fact that Rabbi Brysky, who is the Rabbi you see during the video, came up with this line in 2001. This is actually from his speech, and it was about Chanukah, after 9/11.
So in fact, this slogan is original for Chabad. If anything, it's the Obama campaign that wasn't original! :)
But really...who cares. It has a good message and promotes lighting chanukah candles, Jewish pride and Jewish unity. Thank you for making this beautiful video!
To Angela K Safonoff, Peoria, AZ The story about the oil is in the Talmud Tractate Shabbath page 21b
Brilliant!! i watched the original obama version on youtube and was awed by the brilliance of chabad's chanuka version. way too funny!! happy hanuka!!!
Yes we can video Splendid. I admire the Jesiwh people for many reasons, and one is to know how to survive and prosper.
Chanukkah I would like to know where in the Talmud is the story of Chanukkah. I have read the entire story of the Macabees, but didn't find the part about the oil that lasted for eight days in order to clense the temple in Jerusalem at that time. My husband states the oil miracle is in the talmud. Please tell us where.
Wonderful! Thank you so much for the constant reminders of that beautiful freedom we now enjoy in celebration of our past and the miracles it presented for us. May you be blessed.
