Last night’s Hanukkah party featured, along with songs, jokes, and a community craft, some truly awesome food. And then, a game of Hanukkah Waddya Know.

Tables competed with each other for the best answers to a minyan of questions.

When asked to name a popular Hanukkah song, one table invented one, using the melody of Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass.” Their version: “All about the nes, ‘bout the nes, no oy…’ll.” (Nes is the Hebrew word for “miracle.”)  Of course, we should have expected it: Our percussionist drily accused this group of being nes-sayers.

You may want to read the winning table’s answers, though, because they are downright hilarious.  You can find them here at “Hanukka Waddya Know at TOO: adrenalinedrash.org

Folks, if you missed this event, don’t miss Purim.  One can only begin to imagine what kinds of answers we’ll get then…!

Hag sameach, and blessings of light to you all,

Rabbi Barbara
