Here are several Purim songs put together - mostly MiSheNichnas Adar (From when Adar begins one increases joy - that's what the Talmud says in Megilla).
Unfortunately, whoever made this video thought it would be cute to stop it every once in a while and have the sound of a camera clicking. It's not cute. It's incredibly annoying and it almost made me pass on what's a particularly good video.
Tonight is the first night of the second Adar (because of the leap year, there are two months called Adar this year). And that means that Purim is just two weeks away, so it's time to get into the mood. MiSheNichnas Adar Marbim b'Simcha - from the beginning of Adar we increase joy.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
