What is Purim?
2400 years ago, Haman, the Persian prime-minister, persuaded King Ahasuerus to issue a decree ordering the extermination of all the Jews. Mordechai, the leader of the Jews, rallied his people, urging them to unite in prayer and repentance. Meanwhile, his cousin Esther, who due to a miraculous chain of events was Ahasuerus' queen, lobbied the king to spare her people. Ahasuerus acceded to her request, Haman was sent to the gallows, Mordechai became new prime-minister, the Jews successfully defended themselves against their enemies, and...we celebrate!
Purim customs:
a) Reading of the Megillah (Book of Esther), which recounts the story of the Purim miracle
b) Giving money gifts to the poor
c) Sending gifts of food to friends
d) A festive Purim feast
e) It is also customary for children to dress up in disguising costumes
