Next week Jews celebrate the demise of an ancient Ahmadinejad, a Persian who planned to kill all the Jews. But beautiful queen Esther saved them. It is the one day Jews are supposed to get so drunk that they do no longer know the difference between Haman (bad guy) and Mordechai (good guy).You can read all about it here.

I invite you all to sing and clap along with this traditional song:

Al HaNisim

(And) for the miracles, and for the redemption, and for the mighty acts, and for the consolations, and for the battles that You performed for our forefathers, in those days, at this time.

Al hanisim, ve'al hapurkan, ve'al hagevuros, ve'al hateshuos, ve'al hamilchamos she'asisa la'avoseinu, ba'yamim hahem, ba'zeman hazeh.
