I just found out that my mother has some Jewish background in her. Her being raised as a Catholic I feel proud of my heritage as a Jew. I'll give you some reasons why I like being Jewish.
1. Even though I have a reputation of being blamed I still know that my family brought freedom to this world.
2. I like getting to celebrate Hannukkah.
3. And I love my Jewish ancestry.
These are my top three reasons I like being Jewish. Thank you.

MAOZ TZUR
ROCK OF AGES
Maoz tzur-y' shuoti, l'ha nae l'shavey ah
Tikon bett' filati, V'sham toda n'za beyah
L'et tahin matbeyah mitzar ham'nabeah
Az egmor 'shir mizmor Hanukat hamiz beyah (repeat the last line)
Rock of ages, let our song
Priase Thy saving power
Thou, amidst the raging foes
Was our sheltering tower
Furious they assailed us
But Thine arm availed us
And Thy word broke their sword
When our own strength failed us
(Repeat the last two lines)

Note: Dayenu means "for that alone we should have been grateful."
I HAVE A LITTLE DREIDL
I have a little dreidl
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidl I shall play
O dreidl, dreidl, dreidl
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then dreidl I shall play.
It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
And when it is all tired
It drops and then I win
My dreidl's always play
It loves to dance and spin
A happy game of dreidl
Come play now let's begin.
