El Dia De Purim
Today we read the megila
When Mordhay to Aman said ‘nah’
So now we celebrate with hurrah!
La, la, la, la, la, la el dia de Purim
(The day of Purim)
Biva yo, biva el Rey
Bivan todos Israel
Biva la Reyna Ester
Ke mos dyo tanto plazer
(Long life to me, long live the King
Long live all of Israel
Long live Queen Esther
Who gave us so much pleasure)
We love Ester for being brave
For all the Jews that she did save
And for the justice she did pave
La, la, la, la, la, la el dia de Purim
Biva yo, biva el Rey…
Today we eat bureka
And send our friends dulseria
And don’t forget your tzedaka
La, la, la, la, la, la el dia de Purim
Biva yo, biva el Rey…
Wearing masks and silly are we
As we dance all day with glee
Now that we the Jews are free!
La, la, la, la, la, la el dia de Purim
Biva yo, biva el Rey…

8 Days Sephardic
Prologue:
On Pesach we learn the ancient story
How Moses saved the Jews from slavery
But in their haste, so quickly they fled
So now for 8 days we don’t eat bread
But a question they don’t answer in Sunday school...
On Pesach how do we keep our cool?
-------
Let me tell you a trick, for the 8 days of Pesach be Sephardic!
-------
8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!
Rice is fine so hold your chopstick, cuz on Pesach you’re Sephardic!
Chickpeas or lentils take your pick, cuz on Pesach you’re gonna be Sephardic
8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!
Don’t let the matzah sit like a brick, cuz on Pesach you’re Sephardic!
Eat your corn and grab your toothpick, cuz on Pesach you’re gonna be Sephardic
8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!
Don’t listen to the Passover politic, cuz on Pesach you’re Sephardic!
Be like Moses, be a maverick, cuz on Pesach you’re gonna be Sephardic
8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!
No kitniyot, ah fiddlestick! cuz on Pesach you’re Sephardic!
Hands up if you like this limerick, cuz on Pesach you’re gonna be Sephardic
8 Days oy! Do the arithmetic, and on Pesach be Sephardic!

Come Step In My Sukkah
Come step in my sukkah
Come and see the stars
Come and help me decorate
On all the pretty walls
Come step in my sukkah
Come bless the wine with me
Come shake the palm and etrog
And celebrate the bounty
Come step in my sukkah
Come sit at my table
Come enjoy a hearty meal,
All the biscochos you’re able
Come step in my sukkah
Come sing songs all night
Come feel safe and sheltered
And all will be alright.

Bimuelo
Bimuelo, bimuelo
You’re more than just fried dough
Bimuelo, bimuelo
Mmmm hello!
Latkes get the credit
Donuts aren’t far behind
But let’s just say there’s an even better treat
That will blow your Hanukkah mind
This Sephardic fried delight
Served sweet and warm
Will guarantee to set on fire your
Hanukkah taste buds alarm
A jelly donut it is not
Won’t find sufganiyot here
But when you fry one on the stove
Grab it fast else they disappear!
You can drizzle it with honey,
Or top it with whipped-cream
Sprinkle on some sugar and cinnamon
You got a Hanukkah treat supreme!
This is no ordinary Hanukkah dessert
You can eat it with rosewater, you can eat it with yogurt!
The miracle of Hanukkah wasn’t oil for the ocho
The true gift of the holiday of lights
… is we got bimuelo loco!
Latkes, gelt, presents and dreidel
You don’t know what you are missing
Til you inhale the bimuelo middle
And the flow is so chilling.
Think again, bimuelo craze
Everybody in the place!

Buen Shabat
Buen Shabat, Shabbat shalom
It’s Friday night, el viernes
Come enjoy, gozaremos!
Buen Shabat, Shabbat shalom
Light the candles, las kandelas
Sing some songs, las kantikas
Buen Shabat, Shabbat shalom
Say kiddush for wine, el vino
Wash your hands, las manos
Buen Shabat, Shabbat shalom
Eat the challah, la halá,
Bless the family, la famiya
Buen Shabat, Shabbat shalom
Come together, endjuntos
Peace for all, para todos!
Buen Shabat, Shabbat shalom
