"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Happy Hanukkah!
My old and brand new favorite Hanukkah's songs! A little gift for my Jewish friends who begin to light the Menorrah this evening.
Adam Sandler still totally rocks!
Or, as he would say, "Not too shabby."
This is the newest version of the Dreidel Song from Erran Baron Cohen (Sacha's brother). It's from 'Songs in the Key of Hanukkah'.
It's been years between the two songs. This should make a lot of people - Jewish or not - very, very happy.
It's got a good beat and you can dance to it. I'll give it a 95, Dave.
So, call your Aunt Veronica and have a Happy Hanukkah!
(Sorry for the Christian ads at the bottom of the screen. How annoying is that?)

I'm rather fond of that version of "Dreidel", myself, after hearing it on Fran's blog. There are a lot of places one can go with the Dreidel song. I once made my Jewish medical students howl with laughter one time after class by telling them, "You know, now that you're in Kirksville, I think you have to sing it like THIS..." and launched into my "If Hank Williams sang it, here is how it would go," version.
ReplyDelete(I can imitate Elvis singing it, too...)
Two great songs that belong in one post!
ReplyDeleteHappy Hanukkah!!
I'd love to hear your imitation of Hank and/or Elvis. I do a mean Bob Dylan.
ReplyDeleteHey, Fran, hope your new job isn't running you ragged. Take care.
happy chanukah to you too
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm wondering why he chose the word "Jesus" (in its Hebrew form) as the graffiti, is he a Jew for Jesus Jew? Do you know?
ReplyDeleteI would seriously doubt it. I think it is what it is: Graffiti. I'm sure it's irreverent, but then again, not as much as the Christian ads that pop up all the time.
