A Hanukkah song to dance to
A Jewish music group called the Maccabeats (pictured) has created a fun song that I've listened to about five times today.
They put Hanukkah-inspired lyrics, written by David Block and Immanuel Shalev, to Taio Cruz's infectious tune "Dynamite."
If you know anything about Hanukkah, and hey, even if you don’t, you’ll likely love what they did with their “Candlelight” song. :
“I flip my latkes in the air sometimes sayin’ ayy ohh spin the dreidel,
Just wanna celebrate for all eight nights singin’ ayy oh, light the candles.”
They are talented group of singers from Yeshiva University in New York who found a great way to celebrate the Jewish Festival of Lights. And they’ve found a great way to tell the story of Hanukkah in a way that resonates with today’s generation (and not so young folks like me).
Watch for yourself:
