It's about time... Face it, with all the great Jewish composers why are there only a handful of Chanukah songs and 100's of Christmas themed songs of which the most popular were written by Jews anyways! Thank you Maccabeats and others.

[@thisishisbubbles9362]

This is my 3 year old's favorite song. She sings it every single day all day.

[@nicejewishenby]

this song is so relevant right now 😭

[@joyceclemons3916]

I'm not Jewish but I really enjoy watching these videos each year. Thanks.

[@ArieDobbay]

Hi,my name is Arie and I'm 11 years old. The other week when we were walking home after yom Kippur finished someone on the street yelled out you f***** Jew then a person said to me "hey watch burn from the macabeets so I did and I haven't stopped watching it. Thank you so much for doing this. It helps me feel proud.

[@sijihaufmann4238]

Ignore those jerks!! this has happened to me before but just like in the video remember youre not alone and your family is with you happy hanukkah!

[@ArieDobbay]

squawcreekkid​ Siji Haufmann​ thanks. I could read your comments all day long. Means a lot.

[@sijihaufmann4238]

no problem, just helping out a fellow Jew. haha and if you have any other problems you can email me.

[@sijihaufmann4238]

squawcreekkid wow! nothing like that has happened to me but someone told me they were going to kill me and bomb my house because and I quote "there's more Jews there than in Israel" I went straight to the principal and nothing was done about it. I said something to the office about a winter dance being called the "ugly Christmas sweater dance". and they said they'd do what they could, again, nothing was done about it.Why are we the ones everybody hates? Please tell me!

[@sijihaufmann4238]

squawcreekkid Arie Dobbe Sounds like a crime to me! and

[@LAtetotheparty7211]

I grew up with Maccabeats, dancing around the house to this in my pajamas and singing along at top volume. Listening to them now is such a nostalgia trip.

[@jonah8983]

Same bro I have the same felling especially on Hanukkah

[@user-xw8ol3bp3l]

I absolutely love the part at the end where he comes in looking all proud and walks right past the bullies.

[@user-gn6hn9cb7b]

גם כשעברו כמעט 10 שנים, השיר הזה הוא השיר האהוב עליי, הוא מתאים לכל מצב בחיים שלי, גם כשאני במצב רע ממש. אני לא מפסיקה לשמוע אותו.. רציתי להודות לכם, אתם הזמרים האהובים עליי, אז תודה על הכל.

[@urir1]

I love it😊😊😊. Dont worry about nothing !😊😊 Me and my sister keep listening to all your songs.

[@jessmorell8379]

I feel safe when I hear this song

[@mily3669]

ביצוע מגניב ויפה (כמעט יותר מהמקורי!!!)👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@basyawolkenfeld3130]

[@user-bm1ed4id7l]

[@JoelyBrodsky]

Just wanted to say, I show a bunch of your Chanukkah videos at my school for projects to tell people about my religion and holidays and they all love these videos. I hope you keep making more. :)

[@chlomofreoua5399]

Je ne sais pas si vous comprenez le français mais en tout cas j'adore vos chansons ACAPELLA!!! C vraiment magnifique,j'adore!!!!😭😍😍😍

[@jadedfox7177]

I have this really awful bully at college, she keeps telling me I'm going to hell. and this video made me feel better. When I go back to classes on Monday I am going to just ignore her and smile. Its Hanukkah, I get to come home and light candles with my family :D Thanks

[@RichardGMoss]

The Yoshkeh people think that they'll get extra points for converting a Jew, stay strong and enjoy your heritage.

[@riEfs85]

Just ignore her.

[@riEfs85]

If anything, just keep in mind that you have beautiful traditions to celebrate in the company of your beloved people.

[@mevaser770]

@Elena: I would just let her burn,burn,burn along with the chanuka candles, shes not worth your time

[@ryutkin]

I am just happy that I live in Israel, therefore I don't have to worry about these kind of things. And I wish you good luck!

[@leahlubel]

Honestly, if you are a big fan of the Maccabeats you would know that they almost always have a group of "Greeks" in their videos and they just went more modern this time. I'm pretty positive that the Maccabeats don't think that SDTs are bullies. Instead of reading way to far into absolutely nothing, we should be honored that such an amazing and talented group chose our letters to be portrayed in their music video.

Sigma Delta Tau is a sorority not a fraternity anyway.

[@Sdority905]

It is supposed to be a joke bc the symbols look like EAT

[@oritduannee1256]

It has been 9 years and I still love as a kid i grew up on this

[@Harglesnarf]

only 13 more days till Chanukkah :D I've been a fan of the Maccabees every since i listened to them

[@Paletapayaso.]

🙏🏼👍🏼

[@davidjweinstein]

These are always great! The guy in the astronaut outfit is hilarious! To the stars!

[@emilymontan4583]

I just love the talent and messages from this group.

[@nicholasporteous8758]

thank you maccabeats for me proud to be Jewish in my hardest times of my life you guys have made me think about who I am where I come from and me think thank you

[@bradleyinsurancemanagement4298]

love the way you put the "mess ups" in there... it shows that you have fun with it

[@maureenkelly7482]

I teach my own children never to say anything derogative about Jews. You do this at the peril of your own life! They are God's people and He watches over them day and night. God does not slumber or sleep. Sooooo, be very careful. Fantastic singing Maccabeats!!! Be blessed😇

[@chronicmedic]

Do not let others bring you down. Ignorance is unfortunately part of the human condition. People do not like what they do not know. I grew up as one of the few Jews in our school. I had my own way of dealing with bullies. I am not sure I can tell you to do what I did, but I can say that it does get better with age. To the group: Keep it up, my girls LOVE you all!

[@raananshefa2674]

This is what we call humor. Any attempt to take it too seriously misses the point. Just enjoy the nice message. It is not meant to disrespect anybody. and I'm quite sure that the Maccabeats have nothing against any sorority. It probably hasn't even crossed their minds.

Last part is funny "We got the fire fire fire, and we'er gona let it, ooppps" LOL

Incredible!!!!!!!! Happy Chanukah from Buenos Aires Argentina

[@ShermanJennifer]

You guys are famous in my house! My children listen to your music all the time!

[@maxhr1749]

I can’t listen an original song without singing the Maccabeats’ lyrics although this one is quite close to the original.

[@YHWH101]

What original?? I only know this...

[@maxhr1749]

@@YHWH101 😂😂😂 Ellie Goulding is singing “burning eight nights of a something” after hearing this 🎼

[@britanym.769]

we light it up so the world can it out... keep smiling... keep loving.... HaShem sees... no matter how much people hate us we don't back down from the things we hold as true!

[@jackjonson1313]

I'm fourteen when I've been bulied ever since I can remember I always tried to impress ppl by trying to be someone I'm not when I heard this song I decided I was just gonna be myself not saying I don't still get bullied but I know there not bulling someone else there bulling me and if they don't like me I don't care I'm just gonna be myself

[@marciturner4570]

Exodus 4:11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? Leviticus 21:16-23 16. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17. Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 18. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, 19. Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 20. Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 21. No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. 22. He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 23. Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them. Psalms 94:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? Psalms 146:8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous: Matthew 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. John 9:1-7 1. And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3. Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 6. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, 7. And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. Point: There's absolutely nothing wrong with you. God created you the way you are in flesh and in spirit.

[@claralion4935]

Im 12 and I’ve been lucky enough to never have been bullied, but come high school and I’m expecting to be bullied. Maybe because I’m Jewish, maybe other reasons.

Thank you so much for this great song and video. I've been waiting for The Maccabeats to brighten Chanukah next week.

[@snarky_marine_mammal]

Thank you. This speaks to me. I've been bullied and joked about for being the only Jewish kid in my class throughout school. It took me a while to learn to be proud and not embarrassed as most kids feel, being different.

SDT is Greek and the maccabeats always have Greeks in their videos, plus it's the story of Hanukkah, how the Jews overcame the Greek enemy. The maccabeats are NOT being rude
