Subject: Literature

On behalf of the entire List, friendly greetings and best wishes to our
Jewish members for Hanukkah (Chanuka) of the year 5764.  The series of
holidays begins tomorrow, December 20, and ending on December 27.  Actually,
it begins tonight (since the Judaic day begins with sundown).

Regards,

A traditional song:

Yiddish:

   khánuke, oy khánuke,
   a yóntev, a shéyner,
   a lústiker, a fréylikher,
   nitó nokh azóyner.
   ale tog in dreydl shpiln mir,
   háyse, gúte látkes esn mir.
   geshvínder tsindt, kínder,
   di khánuke-líkhtlekh on!
   tsum yóntev, dem shéynem,
   zingn un tantsn in kon!

English, R. F. Hahn:

   Hanukkah, oh, Hanukkah,
   a lovely holiday,
   a gay one, a happy one,
   there's none elsewhere like it.
   Everyday we play with the dreydle,*
   (and) we eat hot, delicious latkes.**
   Hurry, children, now and light
   the Hanukkah candles!
   On this holiday, so delightful,
   we sing and dance in a round.

Lowlands Saxon (Low German), R. F. Hahn:

   Chanukka, och, Chanukka!
   'n Fier, schöön un riek,
   'n lustige, pläseerliche;
   keen anner is ehr liek.
   Mit'n Krüsel speelt wi jümmer to.
   Tüffelpannkoken gifft 't ok daarto.
   Maakt swinner nu, Kinner,
   de Chanukka-Lichten an!
   To d' Fier, de schöne,
   daar singt un dansst wi allemann.

General Lowlands Saxon spelling:

   Channukka, och, Channukka!
   'n vyer, schöyn un ryk,
   'n lustige, pleseyrliche;
   keyn anner is eer lyk.
   Mit d'n krüysel speelt wy jümmer tou.
   Tüffelpannkouken givt 't ook daar tou.
   Maakt swinder nu, kinder,
   dey Channukka-lichten an!
   Tou d' vyer, dey schöyne,
   daar singt un dansst wy alle man.
