Purim, Evening of Mon, Mar 6, 2023 - Evening of Tue, Mar 7, 2023

Each year, Jews all over the world celebrate the holiday of Purim. They celebrate the miracle of salvation as described in the Book of Esther, with special prayers in the synagogue, public readings of Esther, festive meals, gifts of sweet food packages to neighbors and friends and charity to the poor. There is a spirit of frolic on this unique holiday as adults and children and alike dress in costume, wave noisemakers and toast each other and the community in song and drink.
