The apocrypha aren´t inspired





This little song celebrating Hanukkah is available free on Youtube.

The song is very bad (worse than anything from the Eurovision Song Contest). It's main claim to fame is that the lyrics were written by Orrin Hatch, a Mormon senator representing Utah. Both Hatch and the actual singer Rasheeda Azar can be seen in the Youtube clip, together with the inevitable children. I was somewhat disappointed that Hatch doesn't sing it himself, LOL.

Hatch enjoys good relations with the Jewish community, but one wonders what the Living Prophet says about this one? Didn't God tell Joseph Smith that the apocrypha aren't inspired and shouldn't be "translated"?

Happy Hanukkah, BTW. (A bit too late, presumably.)
