Shir HaRa’ashan – words by Levin Kipnis, music by Nachum Nardi
This song tells the story of Haman’s end. It is another great song
for ear-training for non-Hebrew speakers. Ra’ashan means noisemaker,
and is the traditional noise-maker used on Purim when
we hear Haman’s name during the reading of the Book of Esther
(Megillat Esther). It comes from the word ra’ash, or noise, and in this
song I invite the children to play their ra’ashanim whenever they
hear the words ra’ash, ra’am (thunder) or ra’ashan.

lyrics

Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash!
Mi ba Ra’ash, Mi ba Ra’am, Anochi ha Ra’ashan!
Sipuri Shmatem kvar pa’am, zeh sipur yashan noshan.
Chorus:
Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash,
Zeh sipur yashan noshan.
Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash,
Zeh sipur yashan noshan.
Bimgilah lechu tikra’u
Zeh sipur yafeh v’tov.
V’ani im rak tishma’u
Esaper rak et hasof!
Chorus:
Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash,
Esaper rak et hasof!.
Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash,
Esaper rak et hasof!
Sof sipur Haman eineno
Sha’alu anaf u’vad.
V’nishar lizecher meno,’
Rak oznei Haman bilvad.
Chorus:
Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash,
Rak oznei Haman bilvad.
Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash, Ra’ash,
Rak oznei Haman bilvad.
