Channukka


     So

  It is

Done

  thus

   On

   Channukka

   We Add

     One

Candle each day

With a shamesh.

The flame flares

Sweet, beeswax

Melts down the

Side of the light

Which commemorates

The victory of Yehuda

HaMaccabi the Holy Jew

Over Hellenistic fleshy

Delights in this world, to

Preserve our immortality

Brings peace to our souls.

Channukka the festival of inner lights

In the deepest darkness of wintering.
