LIGHT UP THE NIGHTS
The scene was set back when
A group of fearless men
Stood up for their beliefs
And risked their lives
They acted with one voice
And firmly made a choice
This nation be ensured
That it survive
Their prayers were answered each day
Their minds fixed on their destination
With victory they made their way
No longer deprived
At last they arrived
To a miracle lasting for all generations!
1, 2, 3, Fo-ur, 5, 6, 7, 8!
CHORUS:
Light up the nights!
The candles burning bright
On the festival of lights
Here on Chanukah
Our nation as a whole
Can reach a common goal
With the fire in our souls
The light of Chanukah!
We face a daunting task
One that we cannot mask
A danger just as real as it was then
(Light up the nights!)
Lets stand with open eyes
To hear our brothers cries
And courage now is needed once again
(Light up the nights!)
Let's carry our banner with pride
For this freedom how long we have waited
With the words of the Torah our guide
If we stand as one, it can't be undone
Just think of the wonders that can be created!
1, 2, 3, Fo-ur, 5, 6, 7, 8!
Chorus
Light up the nights!
The candles burning bright
On the festival of lights
Here on Chanukah
We answer to one name
Our Heritage the same
The power of the flame
The light of Chanukah

I was in the choir for this concert! I'm in the front row all the way on left. I was so excited that they posted this full video! My kids (and all the people I've sent this link to 🙂) got a kick out of seeing this as well. That stage was actually slowly rotating, hard to tell from the video. Made the dances more challenging!

[@yeshevishman]

I never realized that about the stage rotating, but I see it now! Must have been a bit disorienting! Did you get to practice with it much?

[@eddaman72]

I think we only were able to practice that day, but it’s been so long I don’t remember 😅

[@PhilipLandsberg]

Saw you

[@OsnielRozen]

Legendary!

[@cr-ei5jm]

this song is also challenging (singing and especially dancing) because it's a faster tempo than most of the rest. U did a great job!

[@Nooticus]

THE best chanukah song ever. Hands down. Such a vibe to listen this during Chanukah 🕎 This old song is still being taught to kids in London which I love to hear :)

One of the best and most well-known MBC songs out there! This was a CLASSIC song in my London Jewish primary school, I didn't even realise it was a MBC song until very recently!

[@carlalarocque7605]

This is awesome. I watched it because it was in CNN'S Five Thimgs. Thank you, CNN.

thank you for sharing the names. just curious, how do you know the names of these boys?

@@ashleyweston3799 Since I was a little kid I loved their songs and followed the shows and the kids

@@Shainaa613 Unfortunately, not many of the videos showing him singing solo have been published. I know for sure that they exist in the collection of Yerhamiel Bigon, the conductor of the choir. Very recently he published the song "Simcha song" and there you can see him singing a wonderful solo

[@levik599]

@@Shainaa613 He has a treasure chest at home, and sometimes when he's in a good mood, he opens it and releases a few pieces of nostalgia for us...
