The Holiday of Dedication

The people of the Tanakh

light the metal statue

called the tall silver Menorah.

We snack on salty munchers

flat like flapjacks

oily and crispy like french fries

called potato latkes.

The sport we play

with comrades and elders

where we spin, bet and compete

with mini toys called dreidels.

Donuts covered in sweet powder

fried, moist and chewy like bread

filled with gooey jam and jelly

of all palettes of colours and flavours.

We pray and sing

hug and kiss our folks

laugh and mingle at home.
