Interesting song.I'm not Jewish though. I was just wondering when do you celebrate Hannaku? It seems like it's a different 8 days every year.

[carolboydleon]

Hanukkah always falls on the same date on the Hebrew calendar, the 25th day of the month of Kislev. Because the Jewish calendar is both solar and lunar-based and the regular calendar is only solar-based, the dates of Jewish holidays vary when placed onto a regular calendar. Hanukkah begins any time from late Nov till late Dec.

The most dramatic change occurs whenever the Hebrew calendar inserts a leap month (which happens 7 times over 19 years). This helps keep Passover in the spring.

ok that makes sense

Friends, I'd appreciate if you rated the video. There are a few hateful people out there who have done what they can to lower the video's rating. Thanks.

[eve4steve]

nicely done. Chatza Mayach!

@carolboydleon Just added my thumps up! I love hearing new Chanukah songs! The menorah at 0:26 is gorgeous.

Don't worry about the idiots trying to give it a low rating. They're just jealous because they can't celebrate Chanukah.

Chag sameach!

I married into a Jewish family and this is my first Hanukkah. I was so thrilled to find a real Hanukkah song other than just the one by Adam Sandler. He's good but it nice to here one that's more serious.

[skewlboypin]

Love it! I'm a recent convert to Judaism and this song is becoming a Hanukkah tradition in our house.

HAPPY HANUKKAH all :-)

[Chiyo1967]

Thanks so very much for sharing this! :o)

Happy Hanukkah everyone!

[SERAPHAGIM]

is very good Hanukkah!

[dozerswoman]

With the loss of my Grandma and Mother last year I no longer have anyone to celebrate with. Your Jewish Holiday music will help ease some of the things I will miss sooo much. I still will be making my famous Latkes. Blessings to all for a Happy, Safe and Healthy Holiday Season. Thank you very much, Becca

[carolboydleon]

I am so sorry for your losses, Becca. I am glad you'll be carrying on with your latke tradition and found plenty of latkes in my video to inspire you! If you visit my website's Gan Shirim page, you'll find a few more Hanukkah songs.

@dozerswoman

Oh, Becca, I too have no family to celebrate Hanukkah with. But I have great friends to share the holiday with and eat latkes. Also, I love looking at great videos like this and some of the more comic ones (Rap Dreidel song? OY!) Over time you will make your own traditions. Chag Sameach............

It's hilarious how the music and style is so similiar to Christmas, yet it's not known by the world, since only a few ammount of people celebrate compared to Christmas!

I love Hanukkah!!!

[SweetNSourAngel]

Great Hanukkah song. I agknowlege all hoolidays since in my ancestory there are Jews, my last name is Silverstein, so yeah I got Jewish blood even if I'm not a Jew religiously.

many blessings to all reguardless of faith and I hope everyone has a great holiday or has had a great winter based holiday for the faiths and cultures whom have already celebrated their winter based festivities.

[thomandy]

Yay! This is perfect for drowning out the constant Christmas music in my dorm!

[carolboydleon]

Glad you like "Happy Hanukkah." You might even hear it on a few radio stations when Hanukkah is here.  However, I wouldn't want it to "drown out" anyone's holiday celebration but rather to add to the spirit of the season. My own choir just performed it at a municipal "Festival of Lights and Carols." It was a way for us to remind those present that there's more than one holiday being celebrated this time of year...

[TinyDancingQueen13]

I guess "drown out" was a poor choice of words. "replace" would be better.

[AngelOfMusic324]

Good job! Now I can't wait for Chanukah again =P

[lindawalla]

nice one.
