"DO, OR DO NOT -- THERE IS NO TRY." Little known fact: though Baby Yoda's cousin delivered this sage advice to Luke Skywalker, he took his inspiration from the Maccabees. Like the Jedi years later, against all odds (never tell us the odds!) they fought off a great empire who sought their destruction.

Today, we celebrate the miracles of that time with presents, dreidels and latkes -- and our tribute to the music of one of the greatest film franchises of all time. CHAG SAMEACH... may the force be with you!

Lyrics:

(CHANUKAH BLESSINGS)

Baruch ata Hashem Elokeinu,
ברוך אתה יי אלהנו
Blessed are You, Lord our God,

Melech haolam
מלך העולם
King of the universe

Asher kidishanu bemitzvotav
אשר קדשנו במצוותיו
Who has sanctified us with His commandments

Vitzivanu lehadlik ner shel Chanukah
וצונו להדליק נר של חנכה
And commanded us to kindle the Chanukah light

She'asa nisim la'avoteinu bayamim
שעשה נסים לאבותינו בימים
Who performed miracles for our forefathers in those days

haheim baz'man hazeh
ההם בזמן הזה
at this time

(SEVIVON, SOV SOV SOV)

Sov, sov, sov, sevivon, sevivon
סוב סוב סוב סביבון סביבון
Spin, spin, spin, dreidel, dreidel

Chanukah hu chag tov, sevivon
חנכה הוא חג טוב סביבון
Chanukah is a great holiday, dreidel

Chag simcha hu la'am
חג שמחה הוא לעם
It's a happy holiday for the nation

Nes gadol haya sham
נס גדוֹל היה שם
A great miracle happened there

Sov, sov, sevivon, sevivon
סוב סוב סביבון סביבון
Spin, spin, dreidel, driedel

(MA'OZ TZUR)

Ma'oz tzur y'shuati
מעוז צור ישועתי
Mighty stronghold of my salvation

L'cha na'eh l'shabe'ach
לך נאה לשַבח
To praise You is a delight

Tikon beit t'filati
תכוֹן בית תפלתי
Restore my house of prayer

V'sham todah n'zabe'ach
ושם תודה נזַבח
And there we will bring an offering of thanks

Rock of Ages, praise Your saving power

Furious they assailed, but Your armor veiled us
And Your word broke their sword when our own strength failed us
Yes, Your word broke their sword when our own strength failed us
Rock of Ages, let our song praise Your saving power

(DUEL OF THE FOODS)

Latke!!
Sufganiyah!!

(AL HANISIM)

Al hanisim, v'al hapurkan, v'al hag'vurot,
על הנסים ועל הפרקן ועל הגבורות
For the miracles, and for the redemption, and for the mighty deeds,

v'al hat'shu'ot, v'al hamilchamot
ועל התשועות, ועל המלחמות
and for the saving acts, and for the wonders

She'asita la'avoteinu
שעשית לאבותינו
which performed miracles for our forefathers

bayamim haheim baz'man hazeh
בימים ההם בזמן הזה
in those days, at this time

(CHANUKAH BLESSINGS)

shehecheyanu v'kiy'manu
שהחינו וקימנו
He has granted us life, sustained us,

v'higiyanu laz'man hazeh
והגיענו לזְמן הזה
and enabled us to reach this day

Amen!
