“Ditto. Happy Hannukah...”

“"The Chanukah Song"
by Adam Sandler!

Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funukah
To celebrate Chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents,
we have eight crazy nights

When you feel like the only kid in
town without a Christmas tree
Here's a list of people who are
Jewish just like you and me
David Lee Roth lights the menorah
So do Kirk Douglas, James Caan
and the late Dina Shore-ah

Guess who eats together
at the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha Na Na
and Arthur Fonzerelli
Paul Newman's half Jewish,
Goldie Hawn's half, too
Put them together,
what a fine lookin' Jew!

You don't need "Deck the Halls"
or "Jingle Bell Rock"
'Cause you can spin a dreidel
with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock -
both Jewish!

Put on your yarmulke
It's time for Chanukah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonicahs
Celebrates Chanukah

O.J. Simpson,......NOT A JEW!
But guess who is?
Hall of famer Rod Carew
- he converted
We got Ann Landers
and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter jewish - not too shabby!

Some people think that
Ebeneezer Scrooge is,
well he's not, but guess who is -
All Three Stooges!
So many Jews are in showbiz
Tom Cruise isn't,
but I heard his agent is!

Tell your friend Veronica
It's time to celebrate Chanukah
I hope I get a harmonicah
On this lovely, lovely Chanukah
So drink your gin and tonicah
& have a happy, happy,
Happy Chanukah!

“Hanukkah Tutorial

When to Light
The Menorah should preferably be lit immediately at nightfall. If necessary, however, the Menorah can be lit late into the night. It is best to wait until all members of the household are present to light the Menorah. The Menorah should remain lit for at least 30 minutes after nightfall. On Friday afternoon, the Menorah should be lit before sundown.

How to Light on the First Night
On the first night, place one candle in the Menorah\'s far right (as you face the Menorah) candle holder. Another candle is placed for the Shamash (helper candle). Say the below blessings and then light the candle using the Shamash candle.

Blessing to Recite
Borukh Ato Adoynoy Eloyheynu Melekh Ho-oylom Asher Kiddeshonu Be-mitsvoysov Ve-tsivonu Lehadlik Neyr Shel khanuko.
Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us by His commandments, and has commanded us to kindle the lights of Hanukkah

“I wonder if Mel Gibson is still planning on making the movie about the Maccabees? I'm sure it'd be well received by all. Kind of like a remake of Roots staring Michael Richards.”

“It's getting to be that time of year! In celebration of the holiday here's a great little song from Sarah Silverman.

Rated R for language:
Give the Jew Girl Toys”

“Sing along:
