PURIM – A CAUSE FOR CELEBRARTION
Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Persian Jews from a plot to destroy them. Megilat Esther, The Scrolls of Esther in the Jewish Holy Scriptures, unfolds the dramatic story.
THE STORY OF ESTHER
A Jewess named Hadassah becomes Esther, the crowned Queen of Persia, and saves the entire Persian Jewish community from pending doom.
The king’s chief advisor Hamman schemes to destroy all the Jews in the kingdom. With the king’s approval a date is set – the 13th day of the month Adar. Prompted by her uncle
Mordechi, Esther convinces the king to rescue her people from that fate.
WHEN IS PURIM CELEBRATED?
Purim is observed on the 14th day of the Jewish month Adar, although in Jerusalem it is celebrated on the 15th.
THE CUSTOMS OF PURIM
Purim is a joyous holiday characterized by the animated reading of Megilat Esther in synagogues throughout the world. It is customary to create a loud noise using a special noisemaker, ra-ashan, whenever Haman’s name is mentioned. Mishloach Manot, mutual gifts of food and drink, are given as is charity to the poor. There is a celebratory meal, the drinking of wine and the wearing of masks and costumes.
