יוֹם פּוּרִים אֵין לִשְׁכֹּֽחַ זִכְרוּ כְּרֵֽיחַ הַנִּיחֽוֹחַ יַֽיִן מָצָא בּוֹ מָנֽוֹחַ וְשָׂם יִשְׁתּוּ וְיַחֲלִֽיפוּ כֹּֽחַ׃	The day of Purim should not be forgotten. Its memory like a sweet smell. Wine found on it a resting place And there, we will drink and renew strength. Wine found…
הַיּוֹם יִשְׁתּוּ בְּנֵי אֱמוּנִים זְהִירִים לִדְבַשׁ אָבוֹת וּבָנִים חָקוּק שִׁכָּרוֹן עַל־כׇּל־פָּנִים מֵרֹב יַֽיִן אַמִּיץ כֹּֽחַ׃ יַֽיִן מָצָא…	Today the children of the faithful will drink, Scrupulous for mead, parents and children. Engraved is inebriation on every face From all the abundantly strong wine. Wine found…
וּבָאוּ כֻּלָּם בִּבְרִית יַֽחַד נִשְׁתֶּה וְנִרְוֶה אָמְרוּ כְּאֶחָד וּפָתְחוּ וּפָֽצוּ פֶּה אֶחָד בָּרוּךְ הַנּוֹתֵן לִשְׁכֹּר כֹּֽחַ׃ יַֽיִן מָצָא…	And they all came in a covenant together: “Let us drink and be sated!” they said as one, And opened and gaped as one mouth. Blessed be the Giver of strength to the inebriated! Wine found…
דִּבֵּר בְּיֵינוֹ לוֹט הַשִּׁכּוֹר יוֹם הַפּוּרִים זָכוֹר וְשָׁמוֹר וְכׇל־כַּדָּיו יַֽחַד לִגְמֹר חַזֵּק מׇתְנַֽיִם כְּבֶן־מָנֽוֹחַ׃ יַֽיִן מָצָא…	Lot the inebriated spoke in his wine: Keep and remember the Purim day! And all its vessels together be finished. Strong-loined like the son of Manoaḥ!^[1] Shimson, who, despite his Nazirite oath, drinks quite a lot of wine. Wine found…
הָעָם אֲשֶׁר נָע בְּשֵׁכָר תָּעָה יִשְׁכֹּר לְקַיֵּם מִצְוַת שְׁתִיָּה לְבַל־יַעֲבׇר־בָּם מִקְרֶה רָעָה לֹא־יִישָׁן וַיִּתְגַּל בְּאׇהֳלוֹ כְּנֹֽחַ׃ יַֽיִן מָצָא…	The people that moved, wandering in beer, Will get inebriated to fulfill the command to drinking, Lest evil happenings pass around them, Don’t sleep bare in your tent like Noaḥ! Wine found…

“Yom Purim” is a parody riffing on the piyyut Yom Shabbaton for Purim by Avraham Menaḥem Mendel Mohr from his Kol Bo l’Purim (1855) transcribed and translated from Hebrew into English by Isaac Gantwerk Mayer.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
