Purim Reflection
We have come
to the
season of Purim
We'll celebrate how
the Jewish people
defeated Haman
their bitter foe
How we once again
survived
as we have
so many times before
and after
this victory
The God of Israel
came to our aid
once again
We will feast tonight
on wine
and hamantashen
take joy
where we find it
Take joy in another sacred day
which marks the continuance
of the Jewish people
Do not fear
We have triumphed
in the past
We will again
Modern day Hamans
take note
We are not weak
but strong!
As I put pen to paper
I remember the Purim carnivals of my
youth
We will be able to capture these
childhood memories
and feel once again the
joys we once knew
HAMAN WAS DEFEATAED!
