Hanukah... what exciting memories. Beside the joy of lighting Hanuka candles and recieving small presents on each of the eight nights "matchmaking parties" were held; and while the young sang and danced their parents and grandparents enjoyed planning their children's weddings. Little almond honey cakes were eaten to assure luck and happiness- a good match. The next year at the wedding the bridewas customarily asked "At which Hanukah party did you meet?"

Note: In the album, it's written "lyrics and the music by Flory Jagoda". But I should add this there's a Turkish folk song called "Bir mumdur" (One candle) with similiar lyrics and music. There are also Arabic and Kurdish versions. So I won't argue which one is the original. Just wanted to add as a note.

Any clear information on this subject from anyone will be welcomed, if you message me.
