"Candlelight" is a song by the band The Maccabeats that was released in November 2010. It achieved viral status.^[1]^[2]^[3] The song is a transformation of Mike Tompkins's a cappella cover of the Taio Cruz song "Dynamite" to lyrics about the holiday of Hanukkah. The Maccabeats are an all-male Jewish a cappella student group that formed at Yeshiva University.^[2]^[4]^[5]

The lyrics were written by Immanuel Shalev and David Block; Uri Westrich, a medical student and alumnus, made the video.^[6]

The song reached #1 on Billboard magazine's Comedy Digital Tracks chart in December 2010.^[7]

This song led to many more Hanukkah parody and cover music videos being made by Jewish music groups.^[8]^[9]
