With apologies to the Beatles (Hey Jude), JRC's Alte Rockers construct a Purim anthem.

Hey Jews
Hey Jews, when things are bad,
Take a sad world and make it better.
Remember tikkun olam in your heart
Then you can start to make it better.
Hey Jews, don't be afraid.
We were made to make this world better.
Tzedaka, we teach it to our children,
Then they begin to make it better.
And anytime we feel the pain, hey Jews, we gain
More feeling for those whose needs are greater.
For well we know that it's no mensch who seeks revenge
By blowing the world into a crater.
Na na na na
Hey Jews, dont let me down.
Were the founders of social action.
Remember to give it all that youve got,
Then you can start to get some traction.
So lose your doubt and let it in, hey Jews, begin,
Stop moping and take these problems head-on.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jews, you'll do,
For putting the brakes on Armageddon.
Na na
Hey Jews, don't just feel bad--
Take a sad world and make it better.
Remember, its never all about spin.
So just begin to make it better.
Na, na na, na na na na, na na na na
Hey Jews!
wiered!
