[DSpering]

For those of us who do not read Hebrew, a phonetic pronounciation of the  Hebrew words would be helpful. I used the original video with my kindergarten class last December. They loved it and insisted we play it everyday. They loved learning all about Hanukkah!

[Sammyman1234321]

[annielee1313]

U should come to my school and perform!!

[marimblues]

and from GreatJewishMusic

Nes gadol hayah sham:

The dreidl is that spinning top with the four Hebrew letters Nun, Gimel, Hey and Shin on it. They stand for “Nes gadol haya sham. Translation: A great miracle happened there (here). The legend is that the Maccabee fighters would whip out a dreidl and play if the Greek soldiers came upon their hideaways.

[marimblues]

from Answer.com:

Transliterated: Maoz Tzur: translates from the Hebrew as "Rock of Ages", is traditionally sung after reciting Hanukkah blessings and kindling Hanukkah lights.

The lyrics were written about 800-900 years ago in Europe. The tune that is considered to be "traditional" in most parts of the Jewish world today, is an adaptation of a German folk song.

[marimblues]

Can someone show the transliteration and the translation to the Hebrew for us junior varsity Jews (and goyim)? Thanks - this is fun.

its : נס גדול היה פה!

ness gadol haya po..

big miracle was here!

[Animallover484]

@xxxmexxx01 you only say that if you live in israel because that's where the miracle happened. but, since they aren't in israel, they say nes gadol haya sham, meaning 'a great miracle was/happened there.' just clearing it up...

[tomatoey3]

[shalomleh]

@tomatoey3 HAYA SHAM THERE IN ''THERE TIMES

[Capricornn173]

Очень нравится )))

[JaneRaynes]

THIS IS BRILLIANT

[suzypola7JarEth]

is there a way i can get a translation of the hebrew?

[pens26]

@suzypola7JarEth Which worlds would you like to know the translation on?

[dragonmjamesp]

@pens26 personally i would like to know them on earth.

[stars1836]

@suzypola7JarEth Al Hanisim is a song, and so is Maoz Tzur. Nes gadol haya sham means a great miracle happened there

[suzypola7JarEth]

@stars1836 thanks!

[dragonmjamesp]

thanks for being the first lyrics video for this song that actually has the music in it.
