Amna Nawaz: Now a "NewsHour" tradition.
Each year, we ask the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service at the Pentagon to produce holiday songs with service members singing.
On the second night of Hanukkah, we present "Ocho Kandelikas" by the composer and singer Flory Jagoda. It originally was written in Ladino, which is Judeo-Spanish.
(Music)
Geoff Bennett: That is my new favorite Hanukkah song.
(Ocho Kandelikas is a traditional Sephardi tune that was updated by singer and musician Flory Jagoda in Ladino, which is Judaeo-Spanish. A translation of the song into English can be found at the Milken Archive.)
(Laughter)
Amna Nawaz: Mine too.
Geoff Bennett: All right, tune in to "Washington Week with The Atlantic" later tonight on PBS. Jeffrey Goldberg and his panel discuss the fight over funding U.S. allies and border security.
Amna Nawaz: And tomorrow, on "PBS News Weekend," an in-depth look at a newly FDA-approved treatment for sickle cell disease.
And that is the "NewsHour" for tonight. I'm Amna Nawaz.
Geoff Bennett: And I'm Geoff Bennett.
Have a great weekend, and happy Hanukkah.
