Hanukkah songs are traditional melodies sung during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights. These songs celebrate the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days in the Temple and often recount the historical events surrounding the Maccabean revolt. Popular songs include "Maoz Tzur" and "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah," which are enjoyed by families during candle lighting and festive gatherings. Many Hanukkah songs are performed in both Hebrew and Yiddish, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of the Jewish people. These songs help to create a joyful atmosphere, fostering a sense of community and connection among those celebrating. They are often accompanied by traditional games, such as spinning the dreidel, enhancing the festive spirit of the holiday.
