Light It Up — Two Schools, One Light (Hanukkah Hype Song)

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 18:41:19 +0000

⁣Light It Up” is a high-energy Afrobeat Hanukkah anthem centered on the ancient debate between Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai — the two great houses of Judean teaching.

Brief History — The School of Hillel & The School of Shammai

In the days before and after the time of Yahushua, two major Torah schools shaped Judean thought:
• Beit Hillel (House of Hillel) taught that you add one candle each night.
They emphasized humility, peace, compassion, and spiritual ascent — increasing the light day by day.
• Beit Shammai (House of Shammai) taught that you start with eight and decrease.
They emphasized truth, strength, and prophetic symbolism — counting down to final redemption.

They disagreed passionately — but both sought to honor Yah, Torah, and the Light of Israel.

This song celebrates BOTH approaches as part of one beautiful nation, one people, one Light.
