THE SECOND NIGHT OF HANUKKAH

Welcome to the second night of the Jewish Festival of Lights. The holiday known as HANUKKAH. I hope all are having a wonderful holdiay whether you celebrate Hanukkah or Christmas. Eat lots of Latkes, and enjoy spinning the dreidle. Whatever it is you do during your holiday, just have fun and enjoy the family around you.

Jewish World Report has asked that I post a link to their site for Holiday Music. Check it out! Listen while you surf and enjoy the songs in english, hebrew, and yiddish. Click HERE.


BLESSING OVER THE CANDLES:

Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam
asher kidishanu b'mitz'votav v'tzivanu
l'had'lik neir shel Chanukah. (Amein)

BLESSING FOR HANUKKAH:

Barukh atah Adonai, Eloheinu, melekh ha'olam
she'asah nisim la'avoteinu bayamim haheim baziman hazeh. (Amein)


From Peter Yarrow's "Light One Candle"
Light one candle for the Macabee children, with thanks that their light did'nt die.
Light one candle for the pain they endured, when their right to exist was denied...

I will be adding the rest of the song as the 8 crazy nights of Hanukkah progress.

The words of the song remind me of the reason that Israel exists, and what Jews need to do to ensure it's existence as a Jewish state in years to com.
