I think there is. See the signature quote in this email (below).

"Arur Haman" is chasing the darkness,
"Barukh Mordochai" is lighting a candle.

(Yes, I mean "Mordochai", with a chataf-qamatz under the dalet, transliterated
with an "o" because the chataf-qamatz appears to be related more to the
qamatz qatan.)

Tir'u baTov!
