Happy Hanukkah 2020

I've written an annual Happy Hanukkah post for many years now with various videos of Hanukkah songs and messages. This year may be the strongest group of videos since I started this nearly a decade ago.

You know how there is regularly a "Song of the Summer?" Well, the first video, "Puppy for Hanukkah" by Daveed Diggs, is the song of Hanukkah 2020. 


The Foo Fighters, or more specifically Dave Grohl and producer Greg Kurstin, are doing the extremely cool Hanukkah Sessions featuring a song by a Jewish artist every night of Hanukkah. This is their version of "Hotline Bling" by Drake.


If I'm doing a post with Hanukkah songs, you know that The Maccabeats will be in it. This year, they take on BTS' "Dynamite."


Meanwhile' The Maccabeats' fierce rival, Six13, did a medley of Ariana Grande songs. 


But Shir Soul looks like they are here to compete with the a cappella groups. 


I've written a lot about the new tradition of eating and tasting pickles during Hanukkah. With the stage name Kosha Dillz, Rami Matan should be the spokesperson for spreading the word about this.


Speaking of pickles, My Jewish Mommy Life made a latkes bar complete with pickles!


And just for fun, let's here from the Israel Philharmonic.


Finally, South Paw, the Chicago White Sox mascot, is here to wish Griffin a Happy Hanukkah!
