I wrote about Hanukah for one of my Toastmasters International speakers mutual help clubs. I started getting lots of ads and links on Facebook and Youtube for Hanukah. i discovered several interesting YouTube music videos including:
this one of a lively Yiddish group, men and women.
I was surprized how many Hanukah songs there are and how many I know or recall or recognize.
For example:
I had a little dreidl. (A dreidl is a spinning top.)
I have other posts showing the Hanukiahs which you can see in public places (9 branch candlesticks used for the 8 day celebration of hanukah).
Yiddish is the Jewish language combining German and Hebrew, with a few words of Russian or other northern or Eastern European languages.
