What Is Purim?
“The jolly festival of Purim is celebrated every year on the
14th of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). It commemorates
the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman’s plot “to
destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in
a single day,” as recorded in the Megillah (book of Esther).”
