A Modern Hanukkah #MusicMovesMe

It's Monday.  It's time for some holiday music! 

Who are the Music Moves Me Bloggers? 

We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! (Music Posts Only-meaning at least one music video, please! Otherwise, your post link may be labeled "No Music" or even removed.  We have occasional theme weeks, but you are welcome to ignore the theme and use music of your choice.  Why not join us?  You don't have to sing, or play an instrument.  All music lovers are welcome. 

This month's theme is "Whatever Christmas music moves you" . Let's expand it today to include Hanukkah, which started last night at sundown.  I like modern a cappella Hanukah songs.


I think you'll enjoy these competing 2025 releases by two Jewish a cappella groups playing homage to KPop Demon Hunters. I've had one of these on my blog already, but it enjoys a second play.  First, Six13 and Golden: A KPop  Demon Hunters Chanukah. 

Another take on the theme:  HanuKpop Demon Hunters from the Maccabeats.  

On a different theme, here are Y-Studs and A Very Jonas Hanukkah. 

Want different music? 

Here's a modern song written by Stephen Schwartz:  The Hanukkah Song We Are Light, ft. The New York City Children's Chorus.  Stephen Schwartz, a musical theater lyricist and composer, has written for a number of plays and movies including Wicked, Wicked for Good, and Godspell. 

A more traditional song from The Maccabeats - I Have a Little Dreidel.  Well, at least it starts out traditional....proving that you can use all types of genres to celebrate Hanukkah.

Finally, get up and dance to the Miami Boys Choir and Chanukah Lights! 

And that's a wrap.  It's a sad wrap for me because of the horror at Bondi Beach this weekend.  May the memories of those killed be a blessing for their families and communities, and may the heroes of the day that helped saved lives be rewarded for their caring and bravery. May all those who were injured recover quickly and completely.

Hate will not win. 

Join me again next week for more holiday music at Music Moves Me.
