A song celebrating the victory of Esther and the Jews over Haman, the evil viceroy who sought to destroy them all. We recount Esther's bravery, Mordechai's dedication, and bless all the good guys and curse all the bad guys.

The rose of Jacob is rejoicing As they see as one the sky blue garments of Mordechai You were their salvation in every generation To make it known that those that hope in You Will never know shame Cursed is Haman, who sought my destruction Blessed is Mordechai the Judean Cursed is Zeresh, the wife of my tormentor Blessed is Esther, who has shielded me And let Charvona also be remebered for good |
