My pleasure on the well wishes. Hanukka...Hey, SF! My pleasure on the well wishes. Hanukkah is such an interesting holiday, with the oil lasting 8 days and all that. I understand, and correct me if I am wrong, that Hanukkah isn't as big a holiday as some others, but that it's proximity to Christmas (and Solstice - :-D ) make it bigger.<br /><br />Anyway, yes, Sandler's song is just funny as hell. Very clever. I have never seen the B-Boyz before, but apparently, they have other hip hop songs for other Jewish festivals. Who knew?<br /><br />Aren't you sweet! Both of my parents sang, actually, and I started singing in choir at the age of 5. (Dad started us all playing piano at that age, too - nothing new for kids these days, but 47 yrs ago, it was a bit unusual). Dad did have a beautiful voice, I have to say (so did Mom).

Very cute, indeed. Adam Sandler's, though, is still my all-time favorite.<br /><br />The choir was amazing, I've not heard them before. And....how cool your dad was a cantor! Must be where you get your singing voice, eh? I remember our cantor in the temple where I grew up, he was such a wonderful man. We were all scared of the rabbi, but the cantor was beloved by all!SFIndiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355125340360355618noreply@blogger.com
