“On Chanukah, a small band of courageous Jews defeated the Greek army and rededicated the Beis Hamikdash from its defilement. This song commemorates their victory, one of Kedusha over Tumah, of the sacred over that which is profane.”

From a classic record comes this classic song – Yevanim was composed by Rav Shmuel Brazil when he was a yeshiva student, and was recorded on his 1972 LP entitled Shmelkie’s Nigunim.

Enjoy!
