My Candles
In the window, where you can send your glow from my Menorah, on newly fallen snow, I will set you, (1 -- 8) little candles, on this the (1 -- 8) night of Chanukah.
Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah
Oh Chanukah, oh Chanukah, come light the Menorah. Let's have a party, we'll all dance the Hora.

Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat, Sevivon to play with, levivot to eat. And while we are playing, the candles are burning low. One for each night, they shed a sweet light to remind us of days long ago. One for each night, they shed a sweet light to remind us of days long ago. Oh Chanukah, oh Chanukah, festival of joy. A very special holiday for every girl and boy. Spin the whirling dreidels all week long. Eat the sizzling latkes, sing a happy song. Now light them tonight then, the flickering candles in a row. Retell the wondrous story of G-d in all Her glory, and dance by the candles' cheery glow. Retell the wondrous story of G-d in all His glory, and dance by the candles' cheery glow.

(repeat). Every holiday has foods so special I'd like to have that same attention too I do not want to spend life in this blender Wondering what I'm supposed to do. Matza and charoset are for Pesach Chopped liver and challah for Shabbat Blintzes on Shavuot are delicious And gefilte fish no holiday's without. Chorus: It's important that I have an understanding Of what it is that I'm supposed to do You see there are many who are homeless With no homes, no clothes and very little food. It's important that we all remember That while we have most of the things we need We must remember those who have so little We must help them, we must be the ones to feed. Chorus:
Lichvod HaHanukah
Avee hid-lik nerot lee V'shamash lo avuka Yod'im atem lichvod mah (3x) Lichvod ha Hanukah. Moree hevee kirkar lee Ben oferet y'tzuka Yod'im atem lichvod mah (3x) Lichvod ha Hanukah. Eemee natna liveeva lee L'vee va hama m'tuka Yod'im atem lichvod mah (3x) Lichvod ha Hanukah. Dodee natan t'shura lee P'ruta ahat sh'huka Yod'im atem lichvod mah (3x) Lichvod ha Hanukah. Father (Mother) lit the candles high With the shamash's fiery light Do you know the reason why It's Chanukah tonight. Teacher gave me a dredyl-my To spin in dancing flight Do you know the reason why It's Chanukah tonight. Mother (Father) made the latkes fry And gave me one to bite Do you know the reason why It's Chanukah tonight. Uncle (Aunt, Grandpa) brought a gift I spy

Give thanks that their light didn't die Light one candle for the pain they endured When their right to exist was denied. Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice Justice and freedom demand. Light one candle for the wisdom to know When the peacemaker's time is at hand. Chorus: Don't let the light go out It's lasted for so many years Don't let the light go out Let it shine through our love and our tears. Light one candle for the strength that we need To never become our own foe Light one candle for those who are suffering The pain we learned so long ago. Light one candle for all we believe in Let anger not tear us apart Light one candle to bind us together With the peace as the song in our heart. Chorus: What is the memory that's valued so highly That we keep alive in that flame? What's the commitment to those who have died When we cry out, "They've not died in vain." We have come this far Always believing that justice will somehow prevail This is the burden and the promise And this is why we will not fail. Chorus:
Not by Might, Not by Power (Debbie Friedman) (lyrics from Zechariah 4:6)
Chorus: Not by might, and not by power But by spirit alone Shall we all live in peace. The children sing The children dream And their tears may fall But we'll hear them call And another song will rise (3x). Chorus:

The days of Chanukah, the dedication of our temple Fill our hearts with joy and happiness Night and day our dreidels will spin On them (the days and nights of Chanukah) we'll eat lots of jelly doughnuts Shine, light the many Chanukah candles In honor of the miracles and wonders which the Maccabees did.
