Yevanim! Yevonim? Y'vonim?!? (The Greeks) - A Chanukah Song Lesson

Jewish Music Toronto is back with a new song lesson, special for Chanukah! It's a big part of the classic Chanukah song Ma'oz Tzur called Yevanim. Or is it Yevonim? Or Yivanim? Or... Y'vonim?!?

Transliterations!!!

This was a tough one to research, but well worth it! So I hope you enjoy watching it as I did making it!

Complete lyrics and translation are in the closed captioning and video! Enjoy!
