Once upon a time there was grandfather Yasha and grandmother Sarah. In the month of Kislev, grandchildren Dina and Danya came to visit them for a holiday.
Granddad It's great that you came. Together we will meet Hanukkah, light Hanukkah candles, eat latkes and donuts and treat everyone.
Granny Let's set the table. Here are the lactas, put on the table, Hanukkah candles, sevonchiks to play. Oh, where is Sufganiya? After all, I put the ruddy donut on the window to cool it.
In the meantime, he took the donut, and jumped into the ajar window. And he drove off….
Dina and Danya Don't worry grandma, we'll find him now
Granny But there is also a forest. Very dangerous
Danya Granny! Don't worry about us
Don't be sad and don't be afraid of anything
Dina We can return our donut back.(leave)

Antiochus appears
Antiochus Who are you? Why did they come to my forest?
Children We are looking for Sufganiyah

Maccabees daredevils
We are at full gallop
We take out the saber
And the villain Antiochus
Let's take off the head!
Leading This is how the Maccabees defeated the Greek king Antiochus and saved Dina Danya
Children Maccabees, have you seen Sufganiyah?
Maccabees showed them the right path
Danya and Dina saw Sufgania, a jug and Sevivon.

Nine children with candles in their hands stand in a row, the one who stands in the middle is shorter than everyone else, and his candle, unlike the others, is lit. This is "shamash". After pronouncing the text of each of the "candles", "shamash" approaches her and lights her candle with his own. Concert numbers can be inserted between candlelight performances.
1st candle:
One story for you
I will tell ... In the old days, -
That was in a terrible era -
King Antiochus of Syria
The Jews were given a strict order:
Forget customs and God,
To serve the Hellenic laws
And bows down to idols.
And the old kohen Matityahu
He called his sons to courage-
Five Glorious Maccabees Brothers
The Jews were raised to battle
And the enemy army won,
Honor, truth, Torah was protected!
For this we bow to our ancestors.
I will light my fire in their honor!
2nd candle:
About Yehud, one of the brothers,
Now I want to tell you.
He was brave and smart
And endowed with God's gift.
He put his enemies to flight,
Delivered the people from the shackles,
Yerushalayim freed
And the Temple was cleansed, consecrated.
Yehuda lit a lamp in it.
A miracle happened there with oil!
I will light a fire in honor of him -
Let it never go out.
3rd candle:
Was the youngest Elazar.
And he knew the nightmare of war,
And he fell on the battlefield,
Enemies elephant mortally wound.
Thanks to people like him
Israel was saved again.
Let's light the son of Matityahu
A candle, as a tribute to his courage!
4th candle:
High Priest Jonathan
Israel was given by God.
He ruled honestly, justly,
Enemies to envy, all to wonder!
And he became a victim of intrigue -
The Syrian sword overtook him.
But the glory of the Maccabees brothers
He multiplied among the Jews.
Let the candle bring fire
Memories of him.
5th candle:
Gave their lives for their people
All Maccabee brothers.
Only Shimon survived, he lives
For the good of Judea:
Expelled enemies from all over the country,
And they healed happily!
And celebrated every year
Candles lit miracle.
Let the candle with a quivering fire
Reminds us of him.
6th candle:
There were rulers, there were tyrants,
That Israel was wounded ...
In the twentieth century, in the molten darkness
All notions of evil have collapsed,
The wars have faded in comparison to this one:
Death camps, Jewish ghettos ...
A tornado of destruction hovered over the people,
But the fascists did not break to please.
Victims of fascism, victims of terror,
To victims of "gulags", famines
Everlasting memory! This fire -
A symbol of hope, a protest against wars.
7th candle:
Our Jewish people passed
Through torment and persecution
Tolerate foreign kings, masters,
Shrines of destruction.
But I kindled a spark of faith
The fire of the sacred Torah.
In the darkness of the ages our people have become
The Traveling Menorah!
8th candle:
Scattered all over the land
All over the planet
We all need warmth
In freedom, in light.
Let the joy of new days
It dawns with rays,
And the Hanukkah light of lights
Will ignite hopes!
Scene 1.
A rabbi comes out, lights a shamash, 1 candle. Music, perky dance "Hanukkah" performed by children of all ages. Everyone runs away, leaving 2 boys David (younger) and Tsuriel (older and more bold). Room interior
David: Hanukkah!
Tsuriel: Don't go to school for eight days in a row!
David: Eat lard pancakes every day!
Tsuriel: Playing different games!
David: Winter. It's cold outside, there are bitter frosts, the windows are frozen,
Tsuriel: And the house is warm, cozy. Silver Hanukkah Lamp Prepared
since noon.
David: And you get Hanukkah money from everyone. Could there be anything
Tsuriel: So I think: how much, for example, we will collect Hanukkah money,
if all the uncles, all the aunts and all the relatives will give us?
David: First things first, Uncle Motl.
Tsuriel: Our mother's brother? - Very stingy!
David: But the rich man! And Aunt Itza and Aunt Dvoira!
Tsuriel: Our parents have been at odds with them for a long time!
David: But what about Uncle Beinush and Aunt Yenta? And also my sister Eidl and her husband Sholem-
Seidl? And all the other relatives?
Tsuriel: David, are you delusional?
David: Yes, but what? But, I wonder how many, in your opinion, will give us Hanukkah
money is Uncle Motl?
Tsuriel: How can I know? I am not a prophet. David, what are you?
Sarah: But Mom, at such a terrible time when we are forbidden to teach Jewish
way of life, we can be caught and executed.
Hana: Baby, we must sacrifice ourselves for the Torah and the commandments. I hope,
The Almighty will have mercy on us, and nothing bad will happen to us.
Sarah: It's so dark in the closet and not a single sound.
Hana: Well, that's good.
(music) Sarah, light the candles and say blessings out loud.
Sarah: Baruch ...
Inquisitorial music sounds. The inquisitor approaches slowly.
Inquisitor: Candles, Hanukkah candles. Did you light Hanukkah candles today?
Hana: I, I, I lit Hanukkah candles! (looks at the inquisitor)
Inquisitor: When I was orphaned, I was 5 years old. After that I was raised in
the spirit of Christianity. I reached a high level and became the chief inquisitor.
(changes tone) But when I saw the candles, my father stood before my eyes,
lighting up the Chanukiah and reciting the blessing.
Do not worry, you will leave the country, and I will help you with this.
2 candles are lit. Song of joy, 3 candles
Motl: This is what happened in Spain in the 16th century.
Tsuriel: Um ... okay, Uncle Motl. But what about ....
Mottle: Huh? What?
David 0, (quietly) Hanukkah money for children ...
Motl: What do the kids need money for? What will you do with the money? A? Spend it up
squander, huh? How much did your father give you the Hanukkahs?
Zurnel: I'm 100, and he is fifty dollars.
Mottle: One hundred ... Hm ... They pamper children, but they themselves ruin them. What will you do with your 100
rubles? A? Are you exchanging? A? Look, do not change. Do you hear what I'm telling you?
Look, do not change. Or maybe you are going to change?
Tsuriel: I will not trade. I will not change.
Mottle: You’ll spend it! Where are you going to spend it? Buy toys for them
knives, canes ... No imagination! No, he asked me what he could
come up with your grandfather Monya! That's where the head was ... and the faith! What only
tricks did not go to fulfill the commandment!
(soldiers appear with Kachura, drill)
Your grandfather served in the Lithuanian division. In the midst of the war with the Germans, Stalin
gave the order to comb all the corners of Russia and find Lithuanians in order to create
the national Lithuanian division. No matter how hard the political instructors tried, but apart from
Lithuanian Jews could not recruit anyone (Kachura is in command.
preparation).
Kachura: Today, like every Friday, - a political talk. Religion is the opium of the people.
One of two things: either you will learn that any prayer is a crime equal to reading
enemy leaflets, or ... one of two things!
Motl: One Friday afternoon, political instructor Kachura was summoned to the division, and there was a rumor that the political talk might not take place today.
soldier: Bring a box and 2 spent shells from 45mm cannon shells, lei kerosene,
flatten the ends. So ... what is the wick made of? Give me a belt. Well, everything is ready.
soldier: Where is the east? We must turn to face Jerusalem.
Mony: Nice business - to see Jerusalem from under the Russian city of Eagle!
(removes the compass from his hand). Over there is the south, and Jerusalem is to the south-west of us ... Just
where the entrance to the dugout is. This means that you can stand with your face here, and you will not miss.
Monya: Is Jerusalem over there? Just think, there is Jerusalem!
soldier: Time! Who is watching the sky? Watch out for the first star.
Just do not confuse, so that it does not come out of a sin: do not mistake a signal flare for
the first star! Well, is there a star?
soldier: There is no star yet, but Ivan Budraitis is running towards us.
Monya: What does this Budraitis need here?
Budraitis: Guys! Stop the bazaar! Comrade political instructor Kachura called, they go to
for us to conduct a political conversation!
Monya: I AM invented, (everyone, as if on command, turns to him) Chief political instructor Kachura is not the bravest man in the Lithuanian division. Right? Commander: That's for sure.
Monya: This means that if the Germans now open strong artillery and mortar fire, then senior political instructor Kachura, I assure you, will not stick his nose out of his hiding place at the headquarters of the regiment.
3 soldier: Nice job! Manya, you must have been born premature.
Who will tell the Germans that the Jews are asking them for a favor: open fire. Not
are you
Monya: I can, but only I will take the sin on myself, I will work on Saturday, which is prohibited by Jewish law .. .Although, wait! We have goy Ivan Budraitis. It's not a sin for him. Vanya, will you do your fellow soldiers a favor? Ivan: It depends on which one.
Monya: It's a trifle. Take a mine and put it in a mortar. The Germans will not like being disturbed before dinner and will respond. So that the devil will get sick. Moreover, senior political instructor Kachura. Don't worry - he won't be here. Ivan: It will be done! And you, comrades, will be happy to pray!
soldier: How is it? Isn't there a star yet? ( mortar blast slams)
soldier: Star! Star!
soldier: Baruch ata adonai .... ve tsivanu laadlik ner was Shabbat.
us by his laws and commanded us to light Shabbat candles.
Uncle Mottle: The earth was shaking, the trees of the ceilings were cracking overhead, sand was streaming from the walls, acrid smoke from the messages was creeping into the dugout ...
8 ten sips of passionately prayed Jews to Gd in the ancient language of their ancestors in
summer Friday evening in 1945 on the Russian Plain, marked on the military
maps like the Kursk Bulge.
4 candles are lit War dance.
Scene 5. Back at Uncle Motl's house.
Motl: Baruch ata adonai ... eloheinu melech aolam
Tsuriel: The prayer goes on and on.
David: If only he finished and took hold of his pocket, he finally pulled out his wallet!
Tsuriel: Go ask him for Hanukkah money.
David: Why should I ask this?
Tsuriel: You're younger, you're supposed to ask.
David: But in my opinion, just the opposite, you are the elder, and you are supposed to ask.
Tsuriel: Uncle, who are you praying for?
Mottle: Huh? What?
Tsuriel: Who are you praying for?
Motl: About all good people (prayer in Hebrew)

Herald 1 What is Hanukkah? It's a day of miracles
The day when the Lord sends blessings from heaven.
Herald 2 The day when the menorah burns in the Temple of God,
And when the Lord Most High performs miracles
Herald 3 We will tell you one story today,
Where all people glorify this Holiday - HANUKU!
HOST 1
Hanukkah is a holiday in honor of the successful uprising of the Jews in the era of the Second Temple against the Greeks, the heirs of the collapsed Empire of Alexander the Great.
HOST 2
The oil needed to light the temple lamp - the Menorah, was desecrated by the enemies. The Jews found only one jug of pure olive oil, which should have been enough for a day, but the lamp burned for 8 days! In memory of this happy event, Hanukkah is celebrated for 8 days, starting from the 25th day of the month of Kislev.
HOST 1
On the first day of the holiday, one candle is lit, on the second two, etc., and until the last evening eight candles are lit. The candlestick (Chanukiah) is placed on the windowsill as a sign of loyalty to Judaism.
HOST 2
Jewish wisdom says: "A little light is enough to dispel great darkness."
(mother, father and two sons on stage)
Mother (lays a white tablecloth on the table, arranges cutlery for the festive table) Father is reading. Younger children are doing something on the floor.
Father Today is a great holiday. Do you remember how it was in your childhood, the first time ...
Mother. (remembering, mysteriously) The lamp burned all night and did not go out. It burned all 8 days while the new oil was being prepared.
Eldest son ... Just think, what a great miracle! Well, the oil burned for 8 days! Does it really matter?
Mother ... A miracle is always important, and a miracle with a jug is especially important.
Younger brother. Why Mom?
Mother ... Just as in those ancient times the light of the Temple lamp did not go out, so in the centuries the light of the Torah has not extinguished. We put Chanukiah on the window and try to illuminate not only our home, but also the outer darkness of the whole world.
Older brother ... Fairy tales are everything, fairy tales for young children. I do not believe.
Father ... And in vain. Very soon you will be convinced that you were wrong. (mother and father leave
Older brother (after) - I will believe in a miracle when it happens to me! Until then, brother, it hasn't happened, let's just light Chanukiah.
Younger brother. Let's
(find matches, strike, try to light candles, but the candles do not light)
Younger brother ... Brother, what a miracle, the candle does not light ..
Older. This is not a miracle. You just don't know how to strike matches. Let me try.
(the candle is lit and extinguished)
Younger brother. Let's call Mom and Dad!
Eldest son ... Of course I don’t believe it. It's also a miracle for me, probably, the matches were damp.
The eldest son. I want the candles to light themselves
White angel
On Hanukkah we every night
We light candles in the house.
Why? Do you want to know?
I can tell you.
Fire sacred to Jews
That the Maccabees returned to us,
Remind everyone of miracles
About people who have rejected fear
With folded heads for faith.
And now, following their example
The Jew lives and will live,
She will teach her children.
Let's light Chanukiah soon !.
So far there are no stars in the sky,
Let the light of the first candle flash \

In honor of all the heroes of the Jewish people who carried faith in the One God in themselves, no matter what ...
In honor of the Jews who died during the Holocaust
In honor of those noble righteous men of the world who tried to save or alleviate the fate of the doomed
In honor of the fallen soldiers of Israel
And so that the light of the Torah does not go out in the centuries, just as the light of the Temple lamp did not go out 2 thousand years ago.
