I Have a Little Dreidel
I have a little
dreidel,
I made it out of clay;
And when it's dry and ready,
Then dreidel I shall play.
O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
I made it out of clay;
O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
Now dreidel I shall play.
It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin;
And when it is all tired
It drops and then I win.
O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
With legs so short and thin;
O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
It drops and then I win.
My dreidel is always playful
It loves to dance and spin;
A happy game of dreidel
Come play, now let's begin.
O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
It loves to dance and spin;
O dreidel, dreidel, dreidel,
Come play, now let's begin.
Who Can Retell?
Hebrew:
Mi yemalel g'vurot Yisra-el,
Otan mi yimneh?
Hen b'khol dor yakum hagibor,
Go-el ha-am.
Sh'ma! Bayamim hahem

Makabi moshiyah ufodeh -
Uv'yamenu kol am Yisra-el,
Yit'ahed, yakum veyiga-el.
Mi yemalel g'vurot Yisra-el,
Otan mi yimneh?
Hen b'khol dor yakum hagibor,
Go-el ha-am.
English:
Who can retell the things that befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age a hero or sage,
Came to our aid.
Who can retell the things that befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age a hero or sage,
Came to our aid.
Hark! In days of yore in Israel's ancient land,
Brave Maccabeus led the faithful band.
But now all Israel must as one arise,
Redeem itself through deed and sacrifice.
Who can retell the things that befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age a hero or sage,
Came to our aid.
Dreidel, Spin, Spin, Spin

A great miracle happened there -
It's a happy holiday for the people.

O Hanukkah
O Hanukkah, O Hanukkah, a time to remember,
A jolly, jolly holiday that comes in December.
Every night for eight days dreidel to spin,
Crispy little latkas, tasty and thin.
And nightly, so brightly,
The candles of Hanukkah glow.
Shining with glory, telling the story,
The wonders of long, long ago.
Oh Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, come light the Menorah,
Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora.
Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat.
Sevivon to play with, Latkes to eat.
And while we are playing,
The candles are burning low.
One for each night, they shed a sweet light,
To remind us of days long ago;
One for each night, they shed a sweet light,
To remind us of days long ago;
