Purim
Purim is a fun and joyful holiday that celebrates Queen Esther's courageous acts that saved the Jewish people from the evil Haman. On purim, people dress up in various costumes, exchange treats, and read the megillah! It is a time to celebrate courage and the victory of the Jews!
Story Time!
Once upon a time, in the kingdom of persia, there was a very brave Queen named Esther. Esther was secretly Jewish and thus the king did not know that she was Jewish. One day when a wicked man named Haman(BOOO!) made a plan to get rid of all the Jewish people, Esther had to make a tough choice. Should she stay silent or should she speak up to the kind even if that mean that she would be putting herself in danger? Esther knew that the only right thing to do is to speak up and do everything in her power to save her people. She told the king about Haman's(BOOO!) plans and because of her, her people were saved!
Steps:
01.
Read the Megillah
On Purim, we read the story of Queen Esther from the Megillah. Every time Haman’s name is mentioned, we use noisemakers (graggers) to drown it out!
02.
Wear Costumes
Dress up in fun costumes to celebrate the heroes of the Purim story, like Queen Esther, King Mordechai, or other fun characters. It’s a time to get creative!
03.
Mishloach Manot
On Purim, we prepare and give gift baskets filled with treats like hamantaschen (triangle-shaped cookies) to friends and neighbors as a sign of friendship and community.
04.
Purim Feast
Celebrate with a big meal and lots of treats, including hamantaschen. It’s a joyful time to be with family and friends, celebrating the victory of good over evil.
