Thank You for Your mighty act

Which saved the Maccabees when Antiochus attacked

The many lost to the few

Tyranny they overthrew

With added praises our prayers are jam packed

Lighting Chanukkah candles fills us with glee

Whether the number of blessings is two or three

In the glow the candles create

The miracles we appreciate

Another night of Chanukkah — yippee!

Going up or going down, we just can’t agree

We’re caught in quite a quandary

A decision was made

So let’s stop this tirade

Our argument will be remembered, I guarantee!

I’m a tractate (masechet) of Talmud that discusses Chanukkah, yet “Chanukkah” isn’t in my name.

Latkes and donuts make Chanukkah yummy

But there’s room for more food in my tummy

Thanks to Judith the Brave

I can eat the food that I crave

But the Greek king didn’t think it was funny

I’m the book in Rambam’s Mishneh Torah that contains laws about Chanukkah.

We think large candles in the chanukkiyah are best

While celebrating the Chanukkah fest

Our boss might be calling

Our kids might be bawling

But while the candles are burning we rest!

It’s getting darker and darker, I’m afraid

The world is ending and I feel betrayed

But wait, there’s more light

I think everything will be alright

Let’s celebrate this world God has made
