We also have a lot of leftovers--music videos, that is. We can't believe how many Chanukah music videos came in this year and we're sorry we couldn't post all of them.
Now here's what you've been waiting for: The very last Chanukah music video of 5773/2012. Which one will it be? It wasn't an easy decision, but in the end we decided to give this one to the kids--that's the kids in the Hebrew school program at the Shul in Bal Harbour, Florida, acting out the story of Chanukah to the infectious beat of Gangnam Style, a South Korean pop song that's taken the music world by storm over the last few months.
Enjoy!
(A NOTE TO OUR READERS: We know that Psy, the artist who originated this song is controversial because of the recent discovery that he sang anti-American lyrics in a 2004 South Korean protest video against the American military. He has apologized for the incident and is slated to perform at a White House event next week. We don't think that's a reason to miss out on the exuberant interpretation of the Chanukah story by the kids of Bal Harbour.)

I liked it because it was the little kids. This gets them more involved in Chanukah in a real way.
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to learn our culture and traditions. Sure beats sitting at a desk listening to a dry lecture, and this engages all the children in a fun way. Learning doesn't have to be dull.
