"Scroll Down to the Persia of Old"

By: Y. Mordechai of Lakewood  הבירה

 Time to take the מגילה  קלף  off d’Seforim Shrank,

Open the cask of Cabernet de Blanc,

Amalek is now dormant and subtle,

פורים הבא עלינו לטובה will never be בטל!

Unravel Esther’s אגרת, the Divine’s plan unfolds,

ונהפוך הוא  – for year תשפ"ד, ours is a sealed Megillah, untold.

בימים ההם   – Mordechai helped spare Jews of their fate,

בזמן הזה   – we lack a מנהיג to illuminate.

Back then, they beheld the Heavenly signs,

לא מאסתים ולא געלתים – at least, we can read between the lines.

Mossad wants to probe for detail,

How did the F-35 over the RPG not prevail?

How in the world, on Simchas Torah,

Did they breach the fence without any מורא!?

Finite mortals, zai nisht kain na’ar, the world is not hefker,

הגזירה אמת והחריצות שקר

On that day, Hashem decreed,

So the security services and army were rendered obsolete!

Weeks ago, a hospital in Gaza, got a clean bill of health,

But then they came back for “hakofos shniyos” in stealth,

The message for us all makes a dent,

ווען דער אויבישטער וויל, איר קריכט אויף די גלאטע ווענט!

Just as in Shushan – in days of yore,

Tefillah is key ,כבימי אסתר ומרדכי, ותקוותם בכל דור ודור,

The בורא עולם  writes the script of current events, even as we speak,

This is the answer we all seek.

מעיקרא מאי - sober, drink the four cups,  עד דלא ידע, 

The Ribono shel Olam  has a master plan – witness 14 Adar,

 אורה – זו תורה, its study and מעשים טובים

Will hasten the advent of  ישועת עולמים. - A Freilichen Purim!
