They were recorded in the '60s, and were put out by the "Committee for Jewish Education of New York". It was a whole holiday series; the albums featured Cantors Joseph Boardman and David Unterman, and a number of female vocalists (Joan Mey, Rehla Suken, and others). Has anyone heard of these albums, or does anyone have any idea what became of this Committee? I can't find it [...]

Paquette17_j3fer@hotmail.com29_Wed, 11 Dec 2002 21:12:32 EST644_- With respect, a slight correction to Aliza's version:<br><br>For the line she has given as "Y'mei Hachanukah, Chanukah mikdasheinu," we sing "Y'mei Hachanukah, CHANUKAT mikdasheinu." The translation of this line should actually be, "The days of Chanukah, the dedication of our Holy [Temple]".<br><br>Also, a version taught in my kids' school, which we all adopted this year, changes the last line from "Asher Cholelu Hamaccabim" to "Asher Cholel Hashem Lamaccabim." The meaning of this line is, "which God did for the Maccabees," rather than attributing the wonders and miracles to the Maccabees alone. Some people sing one way and then [...]

I just looked it up and Jennifer is correct about the "Chanukat mikdasheynu" issue. I have heard some musing about changing the final line to show Hashem's involvement in the miracle. I agree with it wholeheartedly. I figured I'd go with the more common version for the posting though. [...]
