[HANASHIR:16990] V'samachta B'chagecha



FYI,
As was mentioned by Meris, "V'samachta B'chagecha" is for the Shalosh Regalim 
(Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot).  This goes back to the rabbinic 
classification of holy days.  The word "chag" is a technical term in that 
context.  Purim 
and Chanukah, post-Torah holidays,  are considered "minor holidays," so the 
term "chag" is not applied to them.

As for Purim, I think that "Rebbe Elimelech" is a great song -- especially 
this year when Purim begins after Havdalah.
