Choral Songs to Enlighten Hanukkah
Join us for an enchanting community-wide Hanukkah celebration on Dec 13th at Congregation Bnai Israel, Gainesville, Fl.

We’ll kick off the evening with candle blessings performed by two young talents, accompanied by our harmonizing choir. The musical journey will begin with GF Handel’s moving chorus from Judas Maccabaeus, focusing on the theme of heroism. Following this, you’ll be treated to four pieces centered around the theme of candles, including the classic “Who can retell” as a madrigal and both Ashkenazi and Sephardic renditions of the same poetry. The evening will continue with Dreyl songs presented in jazz, traditional, and Yiddish styles. We’ll also explore various arrangements of the timeless “Rock of Ages” and “Maoz Tsur,” both in modern Ashkenazi and an 18th-century Italian version, leading us to the grand finale of the program.
In addition to celebrating Hanukkah, we want to come together as a community and stand united against hate and violence. The ShabbaTones Chorus is here to echo that message through their Hanukkah-themed arrangements, which emphasize our solidarity.
