I wrote the story several years ago, and eventually expanded it into the characters' history as related in the Bielecki Family Chronicles. Since then, owing to learning all the ins and outs of my mother's heritage, I discovered that I had great-grandparents who include Jewish heritage. Pretty neat!

Words in Yiddish
Oy Khanike oy Khanike
A yontef a sheyner,
A lustiker a freylekher
Nisht do nokh azoyner
Ale nakht mit dreydlekh shpiln mir,
Frishe heyse latkes, esn on a shir.
Geshvinder, tsindt kinder
Di Khanike likhtlekh on
Zogt “Al Hanisim” loybt Got far di nisim
Un lomir ale tantsn in kon.
Zogt “Al Hanisim” loybt Got far di nisim
Un lomir ale tantsn in kon.
Words in English
Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
Come light the menorah
Let’s have a party
We’ll all dance the hora
Gather ’round the table
We’ll give you a treat
Sivivon to play with and latkes to eat
And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
to remind us of days long ago
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
to remind us of days long ago.
Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah
A time to remember.
A joyful, jolly holiday
that comes in December
Every day for eight days, dreidels will spin
Crispy little latkes, tasty and thin.
And nightly, so brightly,
the candles of Chanukah glow.
One for each night, they shed a sweet light,
to remind us of days long ago.
One for each night, they shed a sweet light,
to remind us of days long ago.

Chag Sameach Chanukah!
