It used to be that Jewish kids had to settle for the simple, but timeless, songs for Hanukkah’s celebration of lights, which begins tonight at sundown.
There was “Hanukkah O Hanukkah” and the always memorable “I Have a Little Dreidel”—great songs to be sure.
But thanks to the magic of Internet, there are plenty of new Hanukkah classics. Here are a few of our favorites.
Happy Hanukkah–or Chanukah. Light up.

The Shlomones “The Rocky Hora Chanukah Song”
