“Ocho Kandelikas” by Josh Nelson – JKids Radio Song of the Week
Chanukah is a GREAT time of year for Jewish music, and “Ocho Kandelikas” is an all-time classic! Written in Ladino by the late, great Flory Jagoda, the song has been given a unique spin by many talented artists over the years, with my sweet friend Josh Nelson among the latest. This version is SUPER fun with dancing and singing candles — such a wonderful way to start a conversation with your family about Jewish diversity… that Chanukah is celebrated differently by Jews all over the world and even right here at home! Wishing you and yours a Happy Chanukah! -Rick Recht
