WGBH in Boston broadcast a lovely program celebrating the eighth night.

A chantor (?) sang a song that the announcer said was titled, "Rock of Ages".

It was a lovely, beautiful rendition that brought me to tears.

If you see it on youtube maybe you can post it, sounds like it is worth hearing to me.

I Will Try to Post a Link to the Song

What you heard was "Ma'oz Tzur", which is Hebrew for "Rock of Ages". I'll let Fran explain it:

Thank you Jan for bringing up the eighth day.

Sorry I missed that show.
