Premium Member Let's Dance the Hora
~ As the Dreidels Spin ~ 

  Game, set and match
    Here comes a fresh batch
  of potato latkes, as the dreidels spin
    Up comes a gimmel -- You win

  Maccabees mean Victory
    so many menorahs to see
  Let's dance the hora and sing a song
    It's Chanukah time ~ we all get along...

Premium Member Battle Cry
"Who is like unto You, O Lord?"
 The Maccabees' battle cry
   For the sake of God
   They were willing to die 

Their holiday's name is Chanukah
Which is translated as 'dedication'
   The Temple's Lamp's restoration
   with a cruse of pure olive oil
   celebrated by lsrael's nation

No marches or military celebrations
~ Light is what ignites Jewish education...

Premium Member To Make God Happy
Not all about a fancy tree
  or menorah made of gold
Though holidays be times of joy
  there's a story to be told

Maccabees fought the mighty Greeks
  to uphold Israel's proud tradition
Christians fete the Savior's birth
  Prince of Peace and their religion

And with each story lessons to be learned
  without regard to fame or fortunes earned
Instead they teach that God's made happy
  when the poor and lonely are not spurned...
