Purim Lyrics




Well I want to share some of the amazing lyrics that our Rabbi wrote for the Purim Shpeil:






Theme: West Side Story - Transformed to Silicon Story a la "the Book of Esther"

The Jew's Song

When you're a Jew, you're a Jew all the way
From your first Bar'chu to your final oy vey
When you're a Jew, you got bagels and lox
There are cheeseburgers, too, if you're NON-Orthodox.

We never shut up; to kevetch is our vocation
We're happiest when we're voicing our frustration , in conversation!

If you're a putz with a capital P
You are STILL one of us, that is our guarantee
When you're a Jew, you stay a Jew!

When you're a Jew you are chosen for life
You're a nebbishy guy with a dominant wife
When you're a Jew there's tradition and lore
From the thing that gets cut to that box on the door!

The Jews are a tribe, a righteous congregation
So goyim take care, don't offer us salvation !


(Well if the rabbi decides to change careers - a lyricist might be a good choice)

And the costumes were good too:
