שירון פורים/Purim Fairy Song Book! (perfect for next year!)

I know, I know… where was this post YESTERDAY???

Well, about twenty seconds before my family was due to arrive for the Purim seudah this afternoon, Naomi requested that we all sing a particular song.  Well, if we were going to try to sing together, we’d need lyrics.

(also, wonderful, melodic voices, but let’s not push it – at least I can find lyrics on the Internet!)

So I sat down and put together a page of words for a few Purim songs.  Not that there aren’t songbooks out there, but I wanted translations and transliterations, just like we have in our Chanukah book.

Of course, I wasn’t able to throw much together in a few minutes, so I spent an hour or so just now putting a better song book together… just in time for next Purim!  (or Shushan Purim, if you live in an ancient walled city)

Songs included (transliterations are Ashkenaz except Israeli songs):

  • Ani Purim (I am Purim) /אני פורים
  • Chag Purim /חג פורים
  • Venahafoch / ונהפוך
  • Shoshanas Yaakov / שׁוֹשַׁנַּת יַעֲקֹב
  • Al HaNissim / על הניסים
  • LaKova Sheli (My Hat) / לכובע שלי
  • Laytzan Katan (Little Clown)  / ליצן קטן
  • Nosh, Nosh (Hamentash Song)
  • Vayehi Biymei Achashveirosh  / ויהי, בימי אחשוורוש
  • A Wicked, Wicked Man
  • Utzu Eitzah  / עוצו עצה
  • Esther’s Day (ttto Yesterday)
  • Mishenichnas Adar / משנכנס אדר

Not all the Hebrew versions have vowels, but this is a basic attempt to provide Hebrew, English and transliterations wherever possible.  If I get a chance before next Purim, I may buff it up a bit.

Download it from my Limudei Kodesh printables page here – scroll down to the Purim section.

Of course, what you need to go along with something like this is audio tracks, and unfortunately, I cannot provide those.  Luckily, there’s YouTube and a bunch of other great resources.  Here are a few sites to try to find tunes (for some, you may need to be able to type and spell in Hebrew – sorry!):

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
