Eating Latke by the Light of the Menorah

The final result, as requested by Sheridan, of his conceptual diorama of the song "Oh Hanukah", made out of Lego and Lego Bionicle pieces, lit by a crank flashlight through a Lego XPod container that is tinted plastic so the candles "glow".

 

He makes me very proud and very scared, all at the same time, that boy...

 

He learned this song at school over the holidays and sang it for each person who came to view his scene. When asked if he'd ever had latke, he stated somberly "Oh, no, I don't celebrate Hanukah."

Oh Hanukah

 

Hanukah Oh Hanukah

Come light the menorah

Let's have a party

We'll all dance the hora

 

Gather 'round the table

We'll give you a treat

Dreidels to play with

And latkes to eat

 

And while we are playing

The candles are burning low

One for each night

They shed a sweet light

To remind us of days long ago

One for each night

They shed a sweet light

To remind us of days long ago
