Our class has been busy preparing for Hanukkah while we learn about the different ways in which we can parody songs. As a "warmup" for our upcoming parody video in the spring, we created our own parody of Hava Nagila after learning of the origins and evolution of the iconic song. (Remember Alan Sherman's "Harvey and Sheila?" We did one better - a Hava parody about Hava!)
And that's not all we've been up to! A few of the members of Junior Choir showed up to Friday night services on December 4 to help Cantor Korn lead the services. They were a small but mighty group!
And, oy! Such fun we had during Hanukkah!
Erin made latkes.
We played dreidle. (Mmmm...Skittles!)
We sang lots of Hanukkah songs!
We learned how to say dreidle (sevivon) and latkes (sufganiyot) in Hebrew!
And we watched lots of Hanukkah song parodies! This year's favorites:
Watch Me (Spin/Dray Dray) Whip and Nae Nae parody by Six 13.
"Latke Recipe" (Shut up and Dance With Me parody) by the Maccabeats.
