For my Christian friends who are wondering if Hanukkah has anything to do with them, I wish to share a fabulous teaching by a Pastor who grew up as an Orthodox Jew and found Yeshua as a young man:
Pastor Nathan Robinson – Seeing Jesus in Hanukkah
Last but not least, below is beautiful performance of a very traditional Hebrew Hanukkah song — Ma’oz Tzur.

Lecha na’eh leshabeakh
Tikon beit tefilati
Vesham todah nezaveakh
Le’et tachin matbeakh
Mitsar hamnabeakh
‘Az ‘egmor beshir mizmor
