Informations supplémentaires

The festival of Purim is a celebration of Jewish deliverance as told in the Book of Esther. After the destruction of the Kingdom of Judah, the Jews were taken into the seventy-year Babylonian captivity. When ancient Persia took control, Haman, royal vizier to King Ahasuerus, planned to kill the Jews, but his plans were foiled by Esther and Mordecai. Celebrations include listening to the reading of the Book of Esther - the Megillah ("scroll") in synagogue. Giving Tzedakah "gifts to the poor" (matanot le'evyonim). Sending "gift food portions" (mishloach manot). Eating a festive meal. Also sometimes wearing costumes.
