Kad Katan – words by Aharon Ashman, music by Yoel Welbe
This song celebrates and tells the story of the original jug of
oil that miraculously burned for eight days and kept the temple
lit after the Maccabees had driven out the Assyrian soldiers and
rededicated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
I teach the children to clap or stomp between each musical
phrase, along with the drum here.

lyrics

Kad Ka-tan, Kad Ka-tan, Shmo-nah Ya-mim Shamno na-tan.
Col Ha-Am, Hit-pa-leh: Me-e-lav Hu Mit-ma-leh?
Col Ha-Am az Hit-ca-nes, Vi-Hich-riz ach zeh-u Nes!
I-lu-leh Kad zeh nish-ar, Mik-da-she-nu Lo Hu-ar.
Jug of oil, Jug of oil, for eight long days it was so loyal.
All the nation, asked as one, “Where was the oil coming from?”
Then they gathered with great cheer, declared a miracle had happened here.
If that jug had hidden from sight, our temple now would not have light.
Kad Ka-tan, Kad Ka-tan, Shmo-nah Ya-mim Shamno na-tan.
Col Ha-Am, Hit-pa-leh: Me-e-lav Hu Mit-ma-leh?
Col Ha-Am az Hit-ca-nes, Vi-Hich-riz ach zeh-u Nes!
I-lu-leh Kad zeh nish-ar, Mik-da-she-nu Lo Hu-ar.
