A beautiful celebration. Such a cheerful and happy one, There is none like it. Every night with the dreidels we will play, Fresh, hot latkes we will eat endlessly.
Come quickly children
Light the Chanukah candles Say "Al Hanissim", praise God for the miracles, And we will all dance together in a circle! Say "Al Hanissim", praise God for the miracles, And we will all dance together in a circle!
