Daniel Fellman, Student Rabbi Purim is among the more peculiar holidays we Jews celebrate. Most holidays feature God and solemn reflection, while on Purim, we make no mention of God, and we partake in wild, costume parties with free-flowing alcohol. Sound to me more like my fraternity days. Indeed, Purim is unique on the Jewish calendar. While most of our holidays can be connected to verses in the Torah, Purim, like Hanukkah, originates with events that occurred later in our history.
