Oh Hanukkah
-Image made by Mrs. Richter
Hanukkah, Oh, Hanukkah,
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:
A sivivon 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!
Winter Candle Lighting Song
Candle painting by Ellie Bramlett
The first light of winter is the light of the stones.
The light that shines in crystals,
In seashells and in bones.
The second light of winter is the light of the plants.
Green plants that reach up to the sun
And in the breezes dance.
The third light of winter is the light of the beasts.
The light of hope that we may see
In greatest and in least.
The fourth light of winter, it is the human light.
The light of understanding,
To know and do what’s right.

“The songs on this record paint a picture of: things we saw, things we did, things we like and how we were feeling, during the house-bound time of mid March to late May 2020. With love in our hearts and from at least 6 feet away, we joyfully and humbly offer you: songs from a shelter in place.” – From Richard & Olin

BUDS & BLOSSOMS
Buds and blossoms, born of light,’midst the meadow’s matchless day,Dawn has sent the dewy nightDown the newest narrow ray.Now the river, rolling brightly,Lightly leaps its laughing way.Blow, breezes, blow,Flow, river, flow,Shine, sun, shine,And grow, grasses, grow!

Good morning, golden sunshine!
Ooooooooooooooo
You’re looking through my window fine.
The birds rise up to sing and play!
Ooooooooooooooo
And we give thanks for this fine day.

We are stars,
Each of us shining.
A golden light we bring!
And therefore do we sing!
