Here Come the Chanukah Videos: Boys Town Jerusalem Choir with Sevivon and Dreidel Song

The Dreidel Song has been taken to a new level with this new jazzed up rendition by the Boys Town Jerusalem choir. The Dreidel song or in Hebrew Sevivon Sov Sov Sov has been given a new modern spin. 

Hanukkah - the festival of lights - is enjoyed by thousands of Jewish families around the world, many who play the Dreidel game and sing the Dreidel song after lighting the Hanukkah candles.

Established in 1948 to provide a home and education for young immigrants to the newly-created State of Israel, Boys Town Jerusalem has become one of the country's largest and most respected educational institutions.

Boys Town was founded by Alexander S. Linchner, a Brooklyn-born rabbi who, after the Holocaust, devoted his life to building a school for the children of immigrants who poured into Israel from countries around the world. His goal: providing them with a quality education that would prepare them to build the State of Israel with technological skill and traditional Jewish idealism.

Today, the beautiful 18-acre Boys Town campus in the Bayit Vegan neighborhood of Jerusalem is one of Israel’s major technological training centers. Approximately 800 students, ranging in age from 12 to 20, live on the campus, with a capacity to house up to 1,000.
 
The children and grandchildren of immigrants from 45 countries on six continents, they mirror the ethnic diversity of the Israeli population. More than 75% come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and require substantial scholarship assistance. No student is ever turned away from Boys Town due to inability to pay tuition.
 
In addition to receiving a fine technological and academic education, Boys Town students are deeply imbued with traditional Jewish values and ideals, and pride in their Jewish heritage. As a result, Boys Town graduates are proud to serve in the Israel Defense Forces and then go on to build fine Jewish homes and families, while making important contributions to their communities and the State of Israel. Among Boys Town’s more than 6,200 graduates are many engineers, technicians, educators, fine craftsmen and professionals.

Boys Town Jerusalem Welcomes Sukkot with Song

When the holiday videos start to arrive, we're sure that the boys of Boys Town Jerusalem are busy singing and creating their musical contribution to the yom tov spirit. We have posted their videos for Passover, Rosh Hashana, and Chanukah. 
  
This year Boys Town Jerusalem has put together a special Sukkot Song - Vesamachta Bechagecha (Be happy on your holidays). 

On this holiday we leave the comfort and security of our homes and go into the sukkah, showing our faith in God for protection and sustenance. 

In Jerusalem this week, we see the sukkot going up on every street and on the sidewalks next to the restaurants that are constructing them for the convenience of their customers.

Established in 1948, Boys Town Jerusalem has become one of the country's largest and most respected educational institutions since its establishment in 1948 to provide a home and education for young immigrants to the newly-created State of Israel.
