Here Come the Purim Videos: Rabotai a Cappella Sings "Girls Like You" Purim Parody

Purim is almost here, with the reading of Megillat Esther this Thursday evening February 25. We're on the lookout for new Purim videos and we'll share with you any good ones that we find.

Rabotai, (meaning gentlemen) is a fresh and exciting Jewish a cappella group comprised of energetic vocal talent and professional beatboxing. 

Coming from different corners of the world, its members found each other in Israel, where they are rapidly becoming a sought after group to entertain audiences big and small. They specialize in mixing classical Jewish songs with modern pop.

In this video, the first Purim video we're posting this year, Rabotai turns the pop song Girls Like You by Maroon 5 into a song of praise for all Jewish girls like Queen Esther.

"Girls like her 

Show what a Jew can be

Comes down to what you do

You can be Esther too 

Cause girls like her

Throughout our history

Always come through

Show what a girl can do"

 

Rabotai is dedicating this song to our Women of Valour in Am Yisrael!  "Just like Hashem saved the Jews in the days of Achashverosh, thanks to Esther's actions, we see countless times in our history, that thanks to strong, courageous women we have been saved many times!"

Enjoy!
