Beth Blenz-Clucas blogs about kid tracks grownups will love and grown-up tracks kids will love
Chanukah or Hanukkah, no matter how you spell it, it’s a holiday worth celebrating. Even if you’re not Jewish, you can appreciate the wonders of candles, latkes, dreidels and singing during this eight-night festival of lights. Everyone’s familiar with Adam Sandler’s hysterical Hanukkah song, so we won’t belabor it. Instead, we spied a delightfully simple Brooklyn, New York-style “Light the Menorah” by Lloyd Miller of the indie kids’ band, The Deedle Deedle Dees. It seems perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to sing along.
(Kudos to Stefan of Zooglobble for pointing this one out!)
If you want to explore Jewish music with your kids, check out The Klezmatics. Dance around to their “Spin Dreydl Spin” as you fry your latkes and light the last two candles on the menorah.
