Holy Smokes, how long has Orrin been in office...it seems like forever. Is the guy going to get wheeled out of the Senate in a procession? I guess Utah has their own version Strom Thurmond.
Yep...thats all it was. And to know that one of our Representatives is carrying Torah close to his heart on a regular basis makes me believe in all that this natioin was originally designed to be. A nation of FREEDOM. (Praying for the peace of Israel) Shalom
@Compy01 I am Christian but I think you can't just burst into someone else's beliefe and force them to changeyou have to shoew them with your acts. ACTIONS.
Orrin Hatch for President in 2012! Not only is he an articulate leader who understands what our country needs, he's a statesman and a man of peace. He clearly understands that the message of Hanukkah -- freedom and liberty -- is the cornerstone upon which America's was founded, and this is why America is a "light unto the nations." On top of all that, he has real talent as a songwriter!
Serinjoanne, thanks for the making a distinction between December 25 and 25 Kislev. The early church fathers made alot of mistakes, but wanted this connection. I am so joyful Yeshua did not get it wrong, when He fulfilled prophecy.
This is great. It's about time we had a little Hanukkah. Next season I expect to hear this in department stores, sandwiched between Silver Bells and Rudolph! You go, Mady and Orrin
These people hang around on any site that has to deal with Jews. They lurk in the shadow as they have done for centuries. My good advice is not to comment to them for they are not there for discussion but rather for the opportunity to spread their hatred. To put it into its proper perspective, if you shoved their brain up their rectum it would sound like a BB in a box car.
The one thing that the Internet clearly illustrates is how much we have wasted on education in this country. This country is litered from one end to the other with morons experssing opinions that illustrate a low class mentality and the same diseased minds that have led to the death of millions over many centuries. What those speaking in the negative know about hsitory, if it did not make one laugh then it should ceratinly make us weep for what we have sown. God help us all.
How great! I love it. It is about time Jews and Christians unite. December 25 165 BC was the date of the feast of dedication! How many Christians know that??? More rugelah for everyone!
There was no December in 165 BC. The date is 25 Kislev, according to the Hebrew calendar, which has nothing to do with the Gregorian calendar, which came into use much later and which we use today.
I don't want to split hairs, but not everyone uses the Gregorian calendar. I'm protestant, and celebrate Christmas on the 25th (although the majority of the partying is done on the 24th). My girlfriend, however, is catholic and uses the Julian calendar. She'll celebrate on January 7th according to the Gregorian calendar, and will have university lectures on both the 24th and the 25th of December.
Jewish friends, some might be amazed that Senator Hatch is wearing a Mezuzah. Remember the commandment leading to the wearing of the Mezuzah was given to Moses about 1492 BC (Deut. 6:4-9). There were no Jews at the time of Moses, but 12 Tribes, so this was a commandment to all the House of Israel. Orrin is of the Tribe of Joseph, so the wearing of the Mezuzah, while not customary, should be looked at as a fellow member of the House of Israel honoring his literal Jewish blood brother.
The crude and rude comments in this posting about Jews is amazing to me. It speaks loudly about how much blind hatred there is among too many people. Such individuals will never find peace in this life or the next unless they repent and expunge the hatred from their soles. People from many cultures have made many great contributions to the world. Arabs, Jews, Chinese, Americans, Europeans, etc. Let's stop the hatred and all love one another.
Its not blind, its an educated opinion. Once you educate yourselves on the subject and see exactly what these people are involved in, and have been doing for the past 2k years, you will realize how correct we are.
Israelite does not equal "jewish" Israelite is a BLOODLINE, determined by the father, jews track their heritage by the mother, see the big problem here?
I can claim to be the prince of France, but it doesn't make it so, any more than Jews claiming to be "the chosen ones" makes it so.
The Israelites followed Jesus and Christianity, the impostors didn't. They are Edomites, Canaanites, Khazars, mixed with whatever local population they are residing with.
OK fine, Jesus was an israelite and was Jewish. Your point above might argue (incorrectly) that not all Jews today are descended from the original Israelites, but clearly Jesus was Jewish, and descended from Israelites, or at least he claimed to be so. If you have any doubts about this, please read the Bible. I have read the whole thing cover to cover.
Jews are not Israelites, they are Edomites, Canaanites, and Khazars, mixed with whatever local host they are residing with at the time.

For a Jew, you're not as intelligent as you think you are.. You still have not answered

Anyone with an ounce of brains can see right thru your disguise. You also have not commented about your being cirkumpedsized! Fess up Hebe!
You weren't aware you're Jewish? Perhaps you should investigate yourself. Your style of writing is Jewish. Your manner of expressing yourself is Jewish, such as your inuendos, your grammatical construction, the style of semantics you use. And, of course above all, your proclamation suggesting that you are not Jewish. As Shakespeare suggested "the lady doth protest too much me thinks". As an intelligent Jew, you get the full meaning, I think & I hope.
Really nice song! Maybe you people are jealous that Jews were the first religion..like Judeo-Christian refers to Jews-Christians!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus was a religous JEW..have you forgotten this?
The Vedic tradition in India (what most people call Hinduism) is the world's oldest (and still extant) religion. I do believe the origins of that tradition go back some 3500 prior to Judaism. I think Shinto (Japanese polytheism/nature religion) is also far older AND STILL EXISTS. Judaism is pretty young on the scale of world religions.
The Hebrew religion technically goes back to 4000 BC and comes forward to Moses. Many people forget there are 12 Tribes of Israel and the Jews come through the tribe of Judah. While Moses was given the Law and dates back to 1492 BC, the religious history leading up to what some now call the Jewish Religion has roots all the way back to Adam and Eve.
Technically you are correct, and followers of Christ at His time and in the first century after His crucifixion were called "Saints," not "Christians." Do a word search on the King James New Testament on Saint and on Christian and see if I am not correct.
Price: no no, it's not really necessary to verify the term of "saints" vs. "Christians" for the earliest believers. Canon Richardson at the Episcopal church I attend already discussed that with us at All Saints Day. All one has to do is look in the letters of St. Paul; he addressed the faithful as "saints" and naturally, he wouldn't have been talking about "St. Francis" or "St. Barbara" or "St. Patrick" at the time, would he? :)
Tango2romeo, In reading the New Testament, once a person was baptized as a member of Christ's church they thereafter were referred to as Saints. They called themselves Saints. It was the Romans mostly who called members of Christ's church "Christians." not the Christians. It was not until hundreds of years after the original Apostles that the Catholic church and other factions of this religion starting using the term "Saint" to refer to an outstanding religious person. Check it out in Bible
Senator Hatch wrote this song at the request of a Jewish friend. This was in the late 1990's. He came across the request recently and decided to fulfill it, Shalom and Happy Hanukkah, Orrin for writing this uplifting song. Have a blessed Christmas, too.
Senator Hatch's main motive was probably to get some attention and sell his Christmas CD from a couple of years ago. His secondary motive was probably to get Barbara Streisand his singing Jewess idol)to record this song
To the Jes hater below: Read Winston Churchill. Nations were all uplifted by the Jews. Your hatred is blinding and no massiah can cure this type of blind lunacy..
Thanks a lot Hon. Senator Orrin Hatch for the lyrics of this song. Writing legislative bills and lyrics must be your passion. Keep on writing. Happy Holidays/Festival of Lights.
I assume you're kidding. Where did you come up with that lunacy? Part of the college curriculum now entertains the notion of dual migrations from both Asia and Europe, insofar as the peopling of Paleolithic America (north and south) is concerned.
There is nothing on earth to substantiate your Afrocentric assertion.
Excuse me you idiot....I'm not Jewish nor am I a professional victim. Everyone on these posts however can see exactly who you are. You probably have a giant swastika tattooed on your head. Thank God people like you are in the minority. Guess we have to put up with your kind to make normal people look good!!
You know, it's really a shame about the swastika. Buddhists and Hindus use it as a sun cross, to represent the light of the sun. It was also a very noble German sun cross also, before the bloody Nazis went and screwed it up for everyone. Damn them. The swastika should be reclaimed as a positive solar symbol, not as a sign of oppression and bigotry. But it might be too late for the poor swastika.
You are absolutely right about the swastika. I know that it has a long positive history. Leave it to Hitler to twist it into a symbol of bigotry, hatred and genocide. Maybe one day when humankind has evolved enough spiritually, it will once again be used in a positive manner.
They have lasted in spite of hatred towards them and Jesus was a Jew born through the lineage of King David who as also from the Tribe of Judah. The term Jew did not come into existence until about 300 B.C. Recall that Pontius Pilate has the Roman soldiers place a plaque about Christs head while he was on the cross that said. Jesus Christ, King of the Jews. Anyone who says Christ was not a Jew is woefully ignorant of the writings in the New Testament.
Although Price, you might get a laugh out of this: there are many people in the Wiccan and neo-pagan world who DO say things like "Jesus Christ was a witch." And they claim that his 12 disciples plus himself, which makes 13, is one bit of evidence that he was a witch. Is that about the most insane thing you've ever heard??
If you want to hear even worse things said about Christ, read what the Sanhedrin Council said about Christ before they forced the Romans to crucify Him. Christians forget that almost all the early members of Christs church were Jews including the original 12 Apostles and Paul. The entire New Testament was written by JEWS. Jews worshipped Christ, laid palm branches in from of Him and welcomed Him as their Messiah. It was the Jewish leadership who were threatened by Jesus, not the people.
Lies, yes Paul was a Jewish Pharisee, the others were not though. Jews persecuted Christ and Christians back then, and still do today. Who are the ones complaining about Christmas decorations and "Merry Christmas"? Who are the ones constantly bashing Christianity via their media and Hollywood? Who are the ones that tell us we cannot have a cross on government property or prayer in schools?
You can have your merry Christmas, and I respect that, but please respect my beliefs and heritage and don't force your beliefs on me. Christians have persecuted the Jews for 2000 years. Who are you to say that my beliefs or anyone else's are wrong or that I will be punished because I don't believe as you do?

Oh please, its a 2 way street. Jews have persecuted Christians for 2000 years also. I don't go to Israel and put up Christmas decorations in front of their Prime Ministers office(you know like that menorah in front of the WH), and I don't go there and lobby their politicians to support interests that do not coincide with their own(AIPAC).
Its a potential classic. Nice lyrics, wonderful melody, this song definitely has legs. Rasheeda Azar, the singer, has a voice like an angel and looks great. She may be the missing link to Arab-Israeli peace!

Jewish people need to wake up! Their race is used by a small group of satanic bankers and comp. also know as the illuminati, who are using zionism for their own goals! Ever wondered who financed Hitler? Don't be shocked if you find out that also jewish bankers did, same as a grandfather of a famous usa president!
Wake up, we are being played against each other. Mazzel!
You people are a bunch of sick morons, You see any Jewish-rated video as an opportunity to display your crude, profane, and hateful nature. You are incapable of simply enjoying a good song by a great singer. And if the kids in this video ever wanted to experience the joy of seeing themselves in it they can forget it since these comments are laced with your profanity and ignorance. Grow up!
Every family has their own traditions. Some family give their kids presents each night, some don't. etc. There are even the "really, really religious" Jewish families that don't give/get any presents on Hanukah- they view it as an idea taken from the non- Jews on Christmas but many many Jewish families don't go by that.
Okay are u fukking serious. Ur ansestors were Jewish. Until that mofo hitler came and all that jesus crap. im not saying i dont believe in him, im just saying that hes not as powerful as everyone says. Hanukkah is something OTHER THAN UR FUKKING STUPID ASS CHRISTMAS!! YAAAYYY CHRISTMAS TREE. Fuc,k you. im sick of these stupid americans that dont know anything about their culture. The world started with jews. period.

shut the fuck up you fuckin jew if you hate america why dont you go back to israel

Word of advice: don't ever try to defend the Jewish nation- you just can't do it properly that your actually just an embarrassment to it. I hope you will take this into consideration. and btw american is a nationality not a religion, have you actually never heard of a Jewish American? Now whose the stupid on now.
Senator Hatch, you truly have performed a mitzvah in writing this song. Although I don't agree with your politics, I agree with your heart and your good intentions. this is just a wonderful song. Thank you so much.
Not bad for a Mormon. The lyrics are a bit lame, but the tune is catchy, and I like the minor key. Still, I can't help but think fondly of Adam Sandler ....
I live not far from San Diego how many "friends" in all of San Diego are you talking about? 1,5,20,1,000-5,000, 10-25,000 a lack in numercial repsonse will be my answer.
Hey, martha54321a, the only thing creepy is your obviously far left wing, man-hating, traditional values-bashing self. That's right, Marty, you sound like a sour, disgruntled Obama worshipper. Why don't you go back to watching videos about stupid organic farms if it makes you feel special.
It's interesting to me, that a man who does not believe that anyone outside the LDS faith will be in heaven( which is the LDS teaching) is writing a song that is Jewish. I applaud that Jews are God's chosen people. I do not applaud those who do not even believe that Jews will even be in Heaven, writing a song for Jews about a Holiday that LDS followers do not even believe should exist. Comparison:Wiccan witches writing a song about God. Blashphemous and ludicrous.
As a member of the LDS church, I can assure you that we do NOT believe that only Mormons will go to heaven. Just yet one more myth perpetuated by those who don't do their research. If you want to learn about the Mormon church, TALK to a Mormon. Your negative response is just one more reason we have so much dissension in the world today.
I see this as a gesture of goodwill- if Senator Hatch's musical efforts offend you, well, I certainly hope that that is the worst thing that ever happens in your life.
Of course, atheists are quite ecumenical in their attitude towards the afterlife- since they don't believe in Heaven, they figure NOBODY is headed there.
A song about peace and religious celebration being ridiculed by ideological religious bigots is sad. i applaud the Senator. We need more of this. Rock on!!!
Your ridiculous attitude is what creates and spreads anti semitism. Oy, Ignorant people!!!!
I'm not political, just appreciative of peaceful and creative gestures. Bravo Senator Hatch! Frankly, I don't give a rats ass about his motives and the song doesn't provoke hostility as your stupid remark does! The singers were excellent. Lucy...take a chill pill, K?
Actually, it's really offensive. It's disingenous and condescending. It has nothing to do with the tradition of Chanukah music at all.
People shouldn't exploit groups they don't belong to for political leverage. Doing so by laughing at that group is even worse.
There's nothing peaceful about this. It's a disgusting marketing tool, and I hate the fact that a homophobic, hateful, bigoted idiot is using my holiday against me.
My original comment, however, was just snarky and about the music.
Listen Kiddo, we are on the same team. I surely don't want to create hostility or upset you. In some ways, I absolutely agree with you.I understand truly, your passion about this and apologize for not looking at your point before "getting all Judge Judy ". It's just that the Goyim comment can easily be replaced with words like Kike and Nigger and that's very harmful. I'm sorry that I got a little heavy mouthed with my comment. Can we be friends? Let's not let the haters win at our expense
I appreciate that. Just so you know, Goyim isn't a slur necessarily. It really just means anyone who's not Jewish- it's just yiddish for "gentile". In fact I can't say I've ever heard it used derogatorily, except with sarcasm/snark/tounge in cheek.
Yes I'm aware of what the word means but in the modern context it has become derogatory. I enjoy the creativity of You Tube and there's a lot of talent and humor out there. I just become uncomfortable when it becomes a nonsensical political forum or an excuse for people to attack each other. I'll end by saying that it's too bad that the melodic and expressive language of Yiddish is dying out for lack of use. Let's all learn Yiddish and let the politicians eat drech! Be Well, Lucy!
Actually, the word Goy is Hebrew for nation. In the Bible The word Goy has been at times applied in reference to the Jewish nation. Over the centuries it has come to mean anyone from the other nations. There is nothing prejorative about the word itself, Like most words, connotation depends on context and usage. Now a

Your manner of expressing yourself is Jewish, such as your inuendos, your grammatical construction, the style of semantics you use. And, of course above all, your proclamation suggesting that you are not Jewish. As Shakespeare suggested "the lady doth protest too much me thinks". As an intelligent Jew, you get the full meaning, I think & I hope.

The Vedic tradition in India (what most people call Hinduism) is the world's oldest (and still extant) religion. I do believe the origins of that tradition go back some 3500 prior to Judaism. I think Shinto (Japanese polytheism/nature religion) is also far older AND STILL EXISTS. Judaism is pretty young on the scale of world religions.

The Hebrew religion technically goes back to 4000 BC and comes forward to Moses. Many people forget there are 12 Tribes of Israel and the Jews come through the tribe of Judah. While Moses was given the Law and dates back to 1492 BC, the religious history leading up to what some now call the Jewish Religion has roots all the way back to Adam and Eve.

But yes, I think many Christians have forgotten that Jesus was Jewish. There was no such thing as "Christianity" during his lifetime.
tango2romeo 2 years ago
Technically you are correct, and followers of Christ at His time and in the first century after His crucifixion were called "Saints," not "Christians." Do a word search on the King James New Testament on Saint and on Christian and see if I am not correct.
price123456789 2 years ago
Price: no no, it's not really necessary to verify the term of "saints" vs. "Christians" for the earliest believers. Canon Richardson at the Episcopal church I attend already discussed that with us at All Saints Day. All one has to do is look in the letters of St. Paul; he addressed the faithful as "saints" and naturally, he wouldn't have been talking about "St. Francis" or "St. Barbara" or "St. Patrick" at the time, would he? :)
tango2romeo 2 years ago
Tango2romeo, In reading the New Testament, once a person was baptized as a member of Christ's church they thereafter were referred to as Saints. They called themselves Saints. It was the Romans mostly who called members of Christ's church "Christians." not the Christians. It was not until hundreds of years after the original Apostles that the Catholic church and other factions of this religion starting using the term "Saint" to refer to an outstanding religious person. Check it out in Bible

suz208 2 years ago 4
You know, it's really a shame about the swastika. Buddhists and Hindus use it as a sun cross, to represent the light of the sun. It was also a very noble German sun cross also, before the bloody Nazis went and screwed it up for everyone. Damn them. The swastika should be reclaimed as a positive solar symbol, not as a sign of oppression and bigotry. But it might be too late for the poor swastika.
tango2romeo 2 years ago
You are absolutely right about the swastika. I know that it has a long positive history. Leave it to Hitler to twist it into a symbol of bigotry, hatred and genocide. Maybe one day when humankind has evolved enough spiritually, it will once again be used in a positive manner.

God Bless the Jewish people. They have endured enough hatred and antisemitism. If it were not for them, would Christians have Jesus?
To have lasted thousands of years as a distinct people is a miracle in itself. What other group can claim that? Surely that's the hand of God!
suz208 2 years ago 5
They have lasted in spite of hatred towards them and Jesus was a Jew born through the lineage of King David who as also from the Tribe of Judah. The term Jew did not come into existence until about 300 B.C. Recall that Pontius Pilate has the Roman soldiers place a plaque about Christs head while he was on the cross that said. Jesus Christ, King of the Jews. Anyone who says Christ was not a Jew is woefully ignorant of the writings in the New Testament.
price123456789 2 years ago
Although Price, you might get a laugh out of this: there are many people in the Wiccan and neo-pagan world who DO say things like "Jesus Christ was a witch." And they claim that his 12 disciples plus himself, which makes 13, is one bit of evidence that he was a witch. Is that about the most insane thing you've ever heard??
tango2romeo 2 years ago
If you want to hear even worse things said about Christ, read what the Sanhedrin Council said about Christ before they forced the Romans to crucify Him. Christians forget that almost all the early members of Christs church were Jews including the original 12 Apostles and Paul. The entire New Testament was written by JEWS. Jews worshipped Christ, laid palm branches in from of Him and welcomed Him as their Messiah. It was the Jewish leadership who were threatened by Jesus, not the people.
price123456789 2 years ago
Lies, yes Paul was a Jewish Pharisee, the others were not though. Jews persecuted Christ and Christians back then, and still do today. Who are the ones complaining about Christmas decorations and "Merry Christmas"? Who are the ones constantly bashing Christianity via their media and Hollywood?

Every family has their own traditions. Some family give their kids presents each night, some don't. etc. There are even the "really, really religious" Jewish families that don't give/get any presents on Hanukah- they view it as an idea taken from the non- Jews on Christmas but many many Jewish families don't go by that.

It's interesting to me, that a man who does not believe that anyone outside the LDS faith will be in heaven( which is the LDS teaching) is writing a song that is Jewish. I applaud that Jews are God's chosen people. I do not applaud those who do not even believe that Jews will even be in Heaven, writing a song for Jews about a Holiday that LDS followers do not even believe should exist. Comparison:Wiccan witches writing a song about God. Blashphemous and ludicrous.

I appreciate that. Just so you know, Goyim isn't a slur necessarily. It really just means anyone who's not Jewish- it's just yiddish for "gentile". In fact I can't say I've ever heard it used derogatorily, except with sarcasm/snark/tounge in cheek.
lucyliesinashes 2 years ago 2
Yes I'm aware of what the word means but in the modern context it has become derogatory. I enjoy the creativity of You Tube and there's a lot of talent and humor out there. I just become uncomfortable when it becomes a nonsensical political forum or an excuse for people to attack each other. I'll end by saying that it's too bad that the melodic and expressive language of Yiddish is dying out for lack of use. Let's all learn Yiddish and let the politicians eat drech! Be Well, Lucy!

Actually, the word Goy is Hebrew for nation. In the Bible The word Goy has been at times applied in reference to the Jewish nation. Over the centuries it has come to mean anyone from the other nations. There is nothing prejorative about the word itself, Like most words, connotation depends on context and usage. Now a
