The Hanukkah Story for Kids🕎✨

David and Grandpa Pinkas [music] are lighting the Hanukkia together. Grandpa Pinchas, why do we light these candles for 8 days? These lights remind us of an amazing [music] miracle that happened long ago. Long ago, the land of Israel [music] was ruled by the Greeks. They tried to make the Jewish people forget the Torah and stop following Hashem. They forbade keeping [music] Shabbat, Rash Hodes, and Brit. But even [music] the children were brave. They refused to forget the Torah. When the children sat together to learn, they always kept a cevivon near bay. Greg soldiers came. Children hid [music] scrolls, spoon tops. So the civan was like a secret sign. [music] Yes, David. It was their way to stay safe. It reminds us of the courage of the Jewish children. Meanwhile, among [music] the Jews was a brave family, the Mcabes, led by Yehuda Hamakabi, son of Matiatyahu, the Cohen. They said, [music] "We cannot give up. We must protect our faith." Even though they were only a few, just [music] a small group of warriors, they went out to fight the great Greek army. With courage [music] and the help of Hashem, they won. The Greeks fled and the Mcabes returned to the Bethamdash, [music] which was dirty and broken. They cleaned the temple and searched for pure oil to light the manora. But they found only one small jar, enough [music] for just one day. Still they lit it with faith and a miracle [music] happened. The light burned for eight full days. That's why we light the hanukia for eight days to remember the light, the [music] courage and the miracle of ganuka. So each candle is like a piece of that miracle. Yes, David. Every light we kindle brings the miracle [music] back into the world.
