What is Purim?

Purim is the happiest of all the holidays. It commemorates Queen Esther’s bravery and how she and her uncle Mordechai saved the Jews of Persia from an evil plot by Haman (boo), the Prime Minister, to destroy them.

We celebrate by eating hamantaschen cookies, listening to the story of Esther, dressing up in costumes, making lots of noise during storytelling when Haman’s name is spoken, making food baskets (sh’lach manot) for friends and family, giving to the needy, rejoicing with a festive meal, and fasting the day before.
