LYRICS
Jews are ready
Donuts with jelly
Latkes in the pan
Chanukiah,
We love to see ya
Tiny dreidels in our hands
Spin a gimmel, tiny dreidel
Count the eight lights burning brightly
Light the candles to remember
The miracles of yesterday
I remember when the Seleucids
Said we couldn’t circumcise our kids
Study Torah or keep kosher homes
It was all too much and Mattathias said “No!”
We gave Antiochus quite a shock
Fought back his army with spears and rocks
Now today, you’ll never find them on our block
And throughout all the ages, God has been our rock
Am Yisrael chai / עם ישראל חי (The People of Israel lives) (3x)
And I think it’s gonna be a long eight nights
To celebrate the Festival of Lights
Commemorate the miracle of oil
Oh, nes gadol / נס גדול (Great miracle)
I’m a latke man
Latke man, frying up this food of potato
Yes, I think we’re gonna have a real good time
I hope this recipe will come out right
I’ve never made sufganiyot at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a latke man...
And the Maccabees, they lit their lights
Like the candles in the window
Always knowing they’d see victory
When the Greeks came in
And although the Great Menorah
Is no longer lit
The oil burned out long ago
Traditions never did
We can never know what it’s like
Only having oil left for just one night
Just a tiny little light that shined so true
But then a miracle occurred:
It burned for eight nights through
Don’t you know we’re still standing, each and every Yid
‘Cause the Jews are true survivors
Yeah, we beat the Seleucids
Yeah, the oil kept burning, after all eight nights
Like Judah and the Maccabees who wouldn’t give up on the fight
We’re still standing (4x)

We're still standingggggg, yeah yeah yeah !!! 🤍
Truly brilliant on many levels. Jews so talented vocally, musically tell the story to people of our holiday geared for youth set to familiar music and rhyme make us proud of our heritage. And for non Jews to understand our observance and respect 🙏♥️🇮🇱👍♥️
Very soul-satisfying! “Each and every Yid!” Love it. We’re still standing! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Awesome. I just argued with someone there isn't enough good music for our holidays. This renews my faith- pun intended. Best.
Fantastic!!!!!!
🅰️➕️➕️➕️➕️➕️➕️ You deserve every superlative adjective in the book. Thank you for creating and sharing this fabulous video.

I'd love to see an extended version of the We're Still Standing part that incorporates not only Hanukkah, but Egypt, Babylon, Persia, pogroms, and so on.
This just randomly showed up on my Google front page after searching for A Cappella group Voiceplay. I’ve got no idea what I watched but i REALLY enjoyed it
Candle in the wind “ow”. Love it
Brilliant! Thanks guys. Chag Sameach.
Love, Love, Love!
The Greatest!
Wow, Chanukah music has sure come a long way since I had my Bar Mitzvah half a century ago!

I'm not very big on Channuka (this is the only holiday in Israel you DON'T get time off from work for...) but this definitely got me in the spirit of it. Great job!!

You need a better Employer to give you a few days off during Chanukah. But you are right. It is not an "Official" govt recognized paid vacation. But neither is Purim nor The 9th of Av.

@Yithak Shtarker I don’t think you are Israeli or Jewish. It’s a Jewish holiday,celebrated worldwide by Jews. It’s NOT an Israeli holiday. Jews don’t get off for Chanukah in America either! I think you also answered yourself under another name “ get a better employer” implying you know something about the Israeli government. If you were Jewish,you would know all of this. You are that ignorant little troll from England. I know you. You know me too. Now…..I. bet you will give me a thumbs up on this comment. If you have to write anything,WOULD YOU PLEASE RESEARCH before you make an idiot out of yourself,all the time.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@michelehanlon2586 He is speaking about 2 things that does not exist for Jews outside of Israel. 1. Passover, Shavuot, Rosh HaShanah, Yom Kippur, and the 1st and 8th days of Sukkot are officially Israeli Govt recognized holidays with paid leave (days off). The intermediate days of Passover and Sukkot are also days off or afternoons off for govt employees along with some but limited services by post offices and banks in Israel. Chanukah is neither a paid holiday. Nor do govt employees get days off. Banks and post offices are open, but many employees may get to go home early by an hour or 2 for lighting candles. 2. In Israel Chanukah is a historical event. Unlike Purim, the events of Chanukah exclusively happened in Judea.

@@michelehanlon2586 Not sure what this is about, but at least I have some internet weirdness to think about today, so thanks (I guess). Just for the record: I'm an Israeli Jew (and, if I go by what the internet has been telling me for the last two decades, also an idiot, so you got that one right).
Awesome 👌🏽 👏🏻! Chag sameach!
I was waiting for "I'm still frying, after all this time"
Mazel Tov and Chanukah Sameach! That was outstanding. Each year's video is even better than the last one. Keep it up. Yasher Koach.
You guys constantly make the best videos for the Holidays. SIX13 You outdid yourselves. Wishing you a very Happy Chanukah.
I love that you guys do one of these for so many holidays. Chag Chanukah Sameach!

I know you guys can't include every hit, but "don't let the oil burn down on me" at least deserved an out-take.
