Not only do you learn a bit of Jewish history and traditions, but also you're entertained by these talented, creative guys!! Todah Robah!! Thank you tons!!!
This song is only 11 years old and, while I'm nearly 30, I still feel like I've known it all my life. Genuinely cannot wait to introduce my kids to it someday.
What a fantastic song! I was teaching ten year olds about Hanukkah today. The children LOVED singing along with this song while they made their own dreidels.
Hello Maccabeats! I am unfortunately in Covid quarantine for the duration of Chanukah, and this song really picked me up! Happy Chanukah to all of you, and hatzlachah on your learning and chesed! Hashem should continue to shed his light on all of us!
I remember in my first year of Hebrew school the rabbi played this on the computer before Hanukkah. Currently in my last year of Hebrew school but I will never forget this song and will always keep learning Torah 🙏✡️🕍
I' m not a Jew ,however this is so nostalgic. My teacher once played this and I just remembered it and spreads a nice holiday message and lightened the mood in lockdown.😃
Whenever it is a holiday me and my friends persuade our teacher to play this song, and everyone in the class sings along and dances. We love you maccabeats!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Israel for preserving the Word and Jesus. My boys came home from school and said they didn’t want to listen to Christmas songs while we make Christmas cards tonight because we should listen to Hanukkah songs instead. I found another playlist before this one with accordion classical is how I can describe it. This pop song remake was a lot of fun. We played it on repeat. My boys told me about the helper candle in the middle of the menorah. Good work on the song lyrics and video. You all have beautiful voices. Keep up lifting your voices in praises to the Lord. God protect and keep you safe. Amen.
It makes me proud to hear young jews around the world to not only continue the tradition, but to inspire others with such a modern beautiful vidio in the Chanukah tradition
This popped up and my brain just flashed back to nine years ago and I remember this video so vividly and when I first watched it, the first time this little Jewish boy had the perfect song to dance to. Great memories! Thanks for this amazingness!
My husband just texted me from the waiting room, irritated by the Christmas mix playing so I'm making him an alt-Christmas list. This is first. Such a banger.
I remember my history teacher showing us this. That's probably the 1st time I actually wanted to celebrate Jewish heiritage as a Christian. We should know these things since before we were Christian we were Jewish. We should be into our roots as Jews and to have cultural tradition with them. Love you, my breathern! God bless ✡ ✝️
You guys have your own holidays. Jesus didn't even celebrate Hanukkah. Now if a Jew invited you to celebrate that's diffrent. But to straight up light a hanukkiyah or hold your own seder is massively offensive to many if not most Jews. Stick to Christmas. If a Jewish friend invites you to Hanukkah party tho you can go. The Hanukkiyah is a special object it's not for Christians to toy with
@@RevolutionaryFeministVideo The other poster is correct. Jesus did not celebrate Chanukah because it really did not become part of Judaism until centuries later. Yes we were aware of the victory over the Greeks etc, but it was not fully formed until centuries later. Whielwe appreciate the empathy, please stick to your own holidays.
That was funny when the jam fell out of the homemade donut lol. You guys are the best. Brought back awesome memories of a guy I knew in High School who drove a motorcycle. Thank you, Shalom!!!
Everybody's surprised that they like a song from a different religion and I'm just amazed that in the world we live in today anybody is respectful enough of another ethnicity that they are prepared to watch a song from it.
Can not believe it's been 8 years since the song was released... Happy hanukkah 2018 חנוכה שמח 🕎 Edit: it's been 2 years and now we got corona :( Also thanks for all the likes
@@momkestner you said 'kids' not that one specific kid. That's implying that every kid on the planet wants to hear Candlelight by the Maccabeats when they are not Jewish and it is not Channukah.
We done a Hanukkah assembly in year three and we all sang this sing! It is so good! Lotte, age nine. I love your song we sang loads of them and we are a public school!
Brilliant as always, absolutely amazing....so damn original their 'poetry' their words, the MaccaBeats....are outstanding, fun, full of knowledge and education for those who just don't seem to understand our holidays, our Jewish Holidays.....thank you for making my first candle lit, my first Night of Chanukah, Sun. Nov. 28th, 2021. Just fabulous!❤💜❤🌈💙 Chag Sameach Everyone!🙏🙏🙏
This song was playing on my laptop while I was ordering my new kippah - it’s got a picture of Jacob and his oil candle that lasted 8 days on it! Can you belive it lasted that long… the picture is embroidered in silk that is used for my sleeping masks - very expensive. I celebrated the sabbath day with my friends and family today… my highlight of the week was definitely taking a run across hyde park in the morning which was very very beautiful I looked to my left and saw the wonderful sunset and the lake and to my other side was the first covered fields. My it was beautiful, yet nothing beats the dinner I had! I’m taking a detox from alcohol and doing more running so in my kiddish cup was grape juice… LOL #proudtobejewish
I changed my mind. October 7th TERMINATED any ppm (parts per million) sympathy left for Arabs, Palestineans, Muslims or whatever they call themselve!!! Their unhuman crimes have not been a declaration of war just to Israel but to EVERY living being that exists!!! ❤❤❤🇮🇱❤❤❤
What's incredible is, these types of videos you don't see "Free Palestine" comments in the comment section. The supporters of Palestine CLEARLY do not know history if they are notorious for commenting that type of stuff yet you see none of them here, or for example anything Maccabean related. The suffering of the Hebrews should not be tolerated, and it's insane how it's still normalized today. I will always stand with Israel, the Hebrews suffered more than any other race in humanity. They deserve to go in peace. Long live the State of Judea and Israel! ✡️🕎 Shalom! 🇮🇱
I love these guys. I never cease to admire their passion. Also, something about "The war went on and on and on until the mighty Greeks were gone" just makes me feel really good. One thing that really stands out to me here is Ari's solo during the bridge. At least I think his name is Ari. Whatever his name is they don't really feature him much, but his voice is GORGEOUS! And that comedy bit at the end isn't half bad either.
I'm Jewish and seeing that non jews are not hating just makes me so happy❤❤❤❤
I’m surprised people aren’t hating during these times
@VortexGaming175 ye..I was too scared I would get hate but ur so right
🥰🥰♥️♥️
my teacher is jewish and she taught us dreidal
Still love this song after all these years and I am a Black American Christian.
I’m a black Jewish person. Thank you.
Twelve years later, I still love this rendition. Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Chanukah!
Yesss

I'm a Greek, and I still appreciate how hard this song slaps. Happy Hannakuh and sorry for forcing our ways on yall thousands of years ago.
Haha no problem my friend! It's all good. :) That whole slavery in Egypt thing.... We're still pissed about that one. :P
All good now

Still great 24 years later. I wish they did more videos. Once a year isn't enough.

Still listening 14 years later to this banger this was my childhood🤩
I swear I come to listen to this every year.

stop thats so cute wth- jewish sunday school was elite idc
@@buttqrflyvs6287 i miss it sm 😭

Inktoons.Dont cry,it might never happen.
It makes me proud to hear young jews around the world to not only continue the tradition, but to inspire others with such a modern beautiful vidio

Still love it, years later. My daughter was 10 when this came out - she's 21 now!
Time flies!
Thank you! I am in my 50s, but still love to sing this song the entire time I am frying up latkes. This was on repeat last night! :)
The takeaway from growing up Jewish: I only know the lyrics to this version of the song. Not the real one.
When dynamite comes on I mix all the lyrics with this one. Lol.
Fubfrjhhfhfjsichvdb Godinez Finich Finich hace
somehow me too, and I'm not even Jewish
then you think the other guy stole it
OMG YES MEEE
My freshman year roommate in college was Jewish and showed me this song and to this day I sing parts of it every time I think of Dynamite. Amazing
This popped up and my brain just flashed back to nine years ago and I remember this video so vividly and when I first watched it, the first time this little Jewish boy had the perfect song to dance to. Great memories! Thanks for this amazingness!
My husband just texted me from the waiting room, irritated by the Christmas mix playing so I'm making him an alt-Christmas list. This is first. Such a banger.
I cant listen to the original song without listening to this at the same time
What the real one
What’s the name
What's the original called
