When listening to the Megillah reading tonight & tomorrow, listen for the catch phrase from our chorus, "ve-nahafokh hu," it was flipped around:

In the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on its thirteenth day ... on the day that the enemies of the Jews were expected to prevail over them, it was turned about: the Jews prevailed over their adversaries. - Esther 9:1 (translation from jewfaq.org)

Just so you know, I showed the purim video to the 8th graders.  They all loved it, went home and rewatched it and for the last two days 53 8th graders have been walking around singing 'Haman whats with the attitude'  its amazing.  Just wanted to let you know..." anon

7,600 clicks on YouTube seems trivial compared to one positive story from an educator.  We won't lie, though: 7,600 clicks is pretty sweet, too :)

Shavua Tov from Jerusalem!

To kick off the week before Purim, Matt Bar treated a crowd of 50 to another starring role in a HyperSemitic function: the "Haman Song" viral video launch party!  Our "viral station" was buzzing with activity as people sent the www.purimrap.com link to their friends & contact lists.

We screened the video, and Matt laid down some brand spankin' new Bible Raps from his upcoming album!

Thanks to the PresenTense Institute for hosting the event, and for all of their creative & logistical support!

Click Counts & Nods:
Day 4: 2,976 before shabbat
