Where would you spend the eight-day festival of Hanukkah, if you had to choose? Tel Aviv or Jerusalem? Paris, the "city of lights"? At home, here in New Jersey, or across the Hudson in New York City? Well, here are Tom Lehrer's thoughts on the matter:
Where you spend Hanukkah may determine what your dreydel says. If you're outside Israel, your dreydel should have the four letters:
nun נ
gimel ג
hei ה
shin ש
which stand for Nes Gadol Hayah Sham, a Great Miracle Happened There!
But in Israel, the fourth letter is a
pei פ
which stands for Nes Gadol Hayah Po, a Great Miracle Happened Here!
Which brings us to this jazzy video featuring Israeli rapper Sagol 59's "Take Five"-inspired Hanukkah melody:
And so, wherever you may be right now, we wish you a very happy Hanukkah!
