- Symbols of Purim -Purimis aJewish holidaythat commemorates the saving of theJewishpeople fromHaman, who was planning to kill all the Jews. This took place in the ancientPersian Empire. The story is recorded in theBiblicalBook of Esther(Megillat Esterמגילת אסתר inHebrew).
According to the Book of Esther, Haman, royalvizierto KingAhasuerus(presumed to beXerxes IofPersia), planned to kill all the Jews in the empire, but his plans were foiled byMordecaiand his cousin and adopted daughterEsther, who had risen to become Queen of Persia. The day of deliverance became a day of feasting and rejoicing.
Based on the conclusions of the Scroll of Esther: \"[...] that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.\" Purim is therefore celebrated among Jews by:
- Exchanging reciprocal gifts of food and drink known asmishloach manot
- Donatingcharityto the poor known asmattanot la-evyonim
- Eating a celebratory meal known as ase\'udat Purim
- Public recitation (\"reading of the megillah\") of the Scroll of Esther, known askriat ha-megillah, usually insynagogue
- Reciting additions, known asAl HaNissim, to the dailyprayersand thegrace after meals
Other customs include drinking wine or any other alcoholic beverage, wearing of masks and costumes, and public celebration.
Purim is celebrated annually according to theHebrew calendaron the 14th day of theHebrew monthofAdar(and on Adar II in Hebrew leap years that take place every 2 to 3 years), the day following the victory of the Jews over their enemies. In cities that were protected by a surrounding wall at the time of the BiblicalJoshua, Purim is instead celebrated on the 15th of the month of Adar on what is known asShushan Purim, since fighting in the walled city of Shushan continued through the 14th day of Adar.Today, onlyJerusalemand a few other cities celebrate Purim on the 15th of Adar.
