We’re thrilled to share this year’s Chanukkah video, inspired by the dynamic style of KPop Demon Hunters. This project blends our music with a bold animated world that aims to bring Chanukkah to life in a fresh, vivid way. We hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed creating it 😊

Lyrics:
Latkes, latkes
Latkes, latkes
Maccabeats to the feast!
Eat em all up!
So golden and pretty to the eyes, the crispiness of the outside
Whole year diet’s fine, Hanukkah time, now we pan fry
I’m ’bout to sharpen my knives, my onions’ll make you cry
A kitchen miracle for multiple nights
‘Cause the recipe’s rad, and the kitchen is clean
Put the applesauce next to the good sour cream
Now the batter’s good to go,
So crank the flame beneath the pan up to a blaze
I don’t think you’re ready for my latkes
Potato, onion, egg, zucchini for a twist,
A taste you’ll surely miss
Yeah they’re my latkes
A dish to symbolize an ancient miracle oh so lyrical
Better flip up then flip it down
Know I’m the only one right now (now)
Statue in the temple or we shut it down
Made of silver, made of gold
Yeah, we conquered your land, now we’re here for your soul
We will fill your house with sin
Graven image rising where service had been
Listen up, no
Covenant to pursue
No witnessing the new moons to guide you
Day of rest is through
It will be the stars that you pray to
Swine on your altar you can’t look away
Don’t you see your God won’t save you
Holy place defiled
Yeah, your world is gone bow down to my idol
My little spinning top
Gather round the table, spin the little dreidel
You’re my spinning top, my little spinning top
Spin it round eight nights long, Nes Gadol Hayah Sham
You’re my spinning top, my little spinning top
2000 years, never alone
נר תמיד לא כבה
given the years we didn’t know
How to believe we, we were stronger than anything
We lived through wars and we kept our core
While wandering everyplace
It’s our people’s turn, we can show the world
That Am Yisrael never fades (and we’ll be okay)
Won the fight and now we light for all the world to see
Through years so hard, we’ve come this far cuz we believe
We’re rising up up up we’re unbroken
Never again to be hopeless,
Gonna be gonna be glowin
Oh, up, up, up with our voices
One day of oil kept goin’
from the menorah, still golden
Oh, we’re done hidin’, now we’re shinin’ like we’re born to be
לא אבדה את התקוה, תקוות אלפי שנים
We’re shattering the silence, we’re rising, defiant
Shouting in the quiet, “You’re not alone”
We listened to the demons, we let them get between us
But none of us are out here on our own
Cuz we’re still builders, cuz we we’re still strivers,
Cuz we have heroes, we have survivors,
The dreamers, the fighters, we’re broken, we’re tired
But we’ll keep the fire, and I’ll be right here by your side
We broke into a million pieces, and we can’t go back
But now we’re seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me, darkness and harmony
My voice lights up the night, this is what it sounds like
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Truth after all this time, our voices all combined
When darkness meets the light, this is what it sounds like
