Thank you Israel for preserving the Word and Jesus. My boys came home from school and said they didn’t want to listen to Christmas songs while we make Christmas cards tonight because we should listen to Hanukkah songs instead. I found another playlist before this one with accordion classical is how I can describe it. This pop song remake was a lot of fun. We played it on repeat. My boys told me about the helper candle in the middle of the menorah. Good work on the song lyrics and video. You all have beautiful voices. Keep up lifting your voices in praises to the Lord. God protect and keep you safe. Amen.

What's incredible is, these types of videos you don't see "Free Palestine" comments in the comment section. The supporters of Palestine CLEARLY do not know history if they are notorious for commenting that type of stuff yet you see none of them here, or for example anything Maccabean related. The suffering of the Hebrews should not be tolerated, and it's insane how it's still normalized today. I will always stand with Israel, the Hebrews suffered more than any other race in humanity. They deserve to go in peace. Long live the State of Judea and Israel! ✡️🕎 Shalom! 🇮🇱

I remember my history teacher showing us this. That's probably the 1st time I actually wanted to celebrate Jewish heiritage as a Christian.

[@lovmi2byz91]

You guys have your own holidays. Jesus didn't even celebrate Hanukkah. Now if a Jew invited you to celebrate that's diffrent. But to straight up light a hanukkiyah or hold your own seder is massively offensive to many if not most Jews. Stick to Christmas. If a Jewish friend invites you to Hanukkah party tho you can go. The Hanukkiyah is a special object it's not for Christians to toy with

[@imisstoronto3121]

@@RevolutionaryFeministVideo The other poster is correct. Jesus did not celebrate Chanukah because it really did not become part of Judaism until centuries later. Yes we were aware of the victory over the Greeks etc, but it was not fully formed until centuries later. Whielwe appreciate the empathy, please stick to your own holidays.
