NEW YORK — Two Orthodox Jewish brothers from the United States are drawing attention online after sharing videos of themselves performing airwalking dance routines in front of lit Hanukkah candles on their social media account, Breakdancing Brothers.

The brothers, who regularly post dance performances online, released the Hanukkah-themed clips as part of their ongoing content. The videos quickly spread across social platforms, drawing thousands of views and widespread engagement.
Viewers praised the performances for blending contemporary street dance with Jewish tradition, with many describing the videos as joyful expressions of Jewish pride during the Hanukkah holiday. Some commenters said the public display reflected pirsumei nisa — the Jewish concept of publicizing the miracle of Hanukkah — using modern platforms to share the holiday’s message of light and resilience.
The brothers have not offered public commentary beyond posting the videos, which continue to circulate widely online.
This is so brilliant to watch😆😎:

Dancing with the candles
Meanwhile, in a more distant region of the globe, the Bnei Menashe, located in Manipur in Eastern India also celebrated the last day of Hanukkah with joy and singing – and many candles.

why is this even an article?
Very talented kids!
I’m sure they will dance at lots of Simchos and make a lot of Yidden Happy.
Great Job!
50 cent rap break dance lekovad chanukkah!! How crazy we’ve become.
Yoy, mamesh, so heilig
Looks like good clean fun to me…
So cool, they are amazing
Guys, loosen up!!!! Stop the cancel culture, it’s some kosher fun.
ye ye, Keep on cancelling when its kosher and then cry when your kids do things way worse but hide it from you. Use your head litvaks!!
It Mamash looks like they are walking on air. But what will really impress me is if they can feed a large Kiddush with only 2 Challahs & 5 pieces of Gefilte Fish.
The music is problematic
Should use Jewish music and then it will be kosher
Any “walk on water” videos?
amazingly nice.
Remember the only rule of chinuch! Let your kids do whatever they want or they’ll go off the detach!
Major news. Descent into pathetic-ness
Just wondering what yeshiva they go to
It’s one I certainly would recommend
Naa
beautiful! a candle is just a candle, or a melody just a melody, or a dance is just a dance, until you use it for pirsuma nisa. the argument between beit hillel and beit shamai continues in our day – just remember that halakhah almost never followed shamai.
Nebach disgusting
