Purim How-To

Picture
The 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.”

To relive the miraculous events of Purim, we do the following four Mitzvot.

  1. Listen to the reading of the Megillah (the Scroll of Esther) twice: once on Purim eve, Thursday evening, March 13, and again on Purim day, March 14th.
  2. Give charity to at least two needy individuals on Purim day.
  3. Emphasize the importance of Jewish unity and friendship by sending gifts of food to friends.
  4. Celebrate by having a festive meal on Purim day, at which family and friends gather together to rejoice in the Purim spirit.
