The Feast of Purim The Feast of Purim Purim, celebrated on March 11-12 this year, is one of the most joyous of all Jewish holidays.
Purim plays are traditional, as well.
Jewish people express their rejoicing on Purim by wearing disguises and masks to remember that Esther had to conceal her Jewish origins when she became queen. There is often a costume carnival as a celebration. In the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, it is fun to watch the ultra-Orthodox children parade through the streets in their Purim costumes every year. By sending gifts and inviting people to our festive Purim meal, we share our joy with them. If you have close Jewish friends, you might want to consider sending them a fruit basket at Purim.
