It's that time of year again. On Sunday night we will be lighting the first Chanukah candle. Once again we're expecting some new Chanukah music videos and we'll be bringing the best of the bunch to you.
Today we're sharing a video by Cantor Azi Schwartz of the Park East Synagogue in Manhattan. Nadlik Beyahad Ner (Light a Candle) calls us to light a candle, banish darkness, say a blessing, and enjoy the miracle of light.
As Cantor Schwartz writes in his notes accompanying the song,
While this song was written for the Eurovision Song Contest, not for Hanukkah, I couldn’t resist its imagery of fighting hopelessness by creating light together. And, it was originally sung by one of my favorite Israeli singers ever, Sarit Hadad. When the figurative light of happiness seems far away, let us look for light from our traditions and from each other. Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving, happy Hanukkah, and Shabbat shalom!
Enjoy!
