\"\"<\/p>\n

The Festival of <\/span>Purim <\/strong>commemorates a major victory over oppression and is recounted in the Megillah, the story of Esther. It is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. There are four commandments for Purim: the reading of the story of Esther, festivity and rejoicing, sending gifts (usually food), and gifts to the poor. It is customary to dress in costume for the celebration. <\/span><\/p>\n

(note: all Jewish holidays begin at sundown and end the following day at sundown.)<\/span><\/p>\n
