...and then, as if to add insult to injury, Dreidel, Dreidel, I Made it Out of Clay - a silly Hanukka song popularized in America.
Rudolph is "classic" while Dreidel is "silly."
An appropriate response may have been to help the music director add a meaningful Hanukka song to the program. The school was attempting to be inclusive and could have used some help.
I kind of liked the Dreidel song. Teaching the Hebrew letters despite being banned.
I also give out the gold foil covered chocolate coins at work. No complaints! If they chose to consider it "tribute" they may.
What a joy it is to have Jewish coworkers!
