Tell your friend Veronica....

A different kind of Hanukkah song....



The Hanukkah Song by Adam Sandler

Intro: this is a song, that uh, theres alot of xmas songs out there, but not
Too many about hanukkah, so I wrote a song for all those nice little jewish
Kids who dont get to hear any hanukkah songs--here we go...

Put on your yalmulka, here comes hanukkah
Its so much fun-akkah to celebrate hanukkah,

Hanukkah is the festival of lights,
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.

When you feel like the only kid in town without a x-mas tree, heres a list of
People who are jewish, just like you and me:

David lee roth lights the menorrah,
So do james caan, kirk douglas, and the late dinah shore-ah

Guess who eats together at the karnickey deli,
Bowzer from sha-na-na, and arthur fonzerrelli.

Paul newmans half jewish; goldie hawns half too,
Put them together--what a fine lookin jew! [esus]

You dont need deck the halls or jingle bell rock
Cause you can spin the dreidl with captain kirk and mr. spock--both jewish!
[esus]

Put on your yalmulka, its time for hanukkah,
The owner of the seattle super sonic-ahs celebrates hanukkah.

O.j. simpson-- not a jew!
But guess who is...hall of famerrod carew--(he converted!)

We got ann landers and her sister dear abby,
Harrison fords a quarter jewish--not too shabby!

Some people think that ebeneezer scrooge is,
Well, hes not, but guess who is:all three stooges. [esus]

So many jews are in show biz--
Tom cruise isnt, [tacit] but I heard his agent is. [esus]

Tell your friend veronica, its time you celebrate hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely hanukkah.

So drink your gin-and-tonic-ah, and smoke your mara-juanic-ah,
If you really, really wanna-kah, have a happy, happy, happy, happy
Hanukkah. happy hanukkah!

*bows*

Enjoy!

On the second night....

Each night, along with last night's posted prayer you say a few other prayers. Here is another one that you say before you light the candles.

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha-olam, she-asah nisim la-avoteinu, bayamim haheim, (u)baz'man hazeh.

Translation: "Praised are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who performed wondrous deeds for our ancestors, in those days, at this season."




Here is my menorah from tonight. Center candle lit and then I lit two candles symbolizing the two days. Tomorrow I will post more on this ritual for you. You use the center candle to light the others from right to left.

Now I will be honest. I only actually say the lighting of the Hanukkah candles prayer not all the others. I am posting all the prayers gradually to be factoid-ish here. I am not really religious, I am more of a cultural/historical Jew-type. This king-of-the-universe stuff is not really me.

So Happy Hanukkah all of you...

My candles have all burnt out but it looked really pretty while it was going.
