Purim is a Jewish holiday on the 14th of Adar, that centers around the
book of Esther, also called the "Festival of Lots". Purim means
"lots" for Haman used a lot (pur) to decide when to kill the Jews.
The observance of Purim centers around the reading of the
Megillah---Scroll---of Esther. Every time the name of the villian
Haman is read, we make noises, and hisses and boos to drown out the
name. On the flip-side, we shout and show happiness when the name
of Mordechai is read. Purim is preceded by Ta'anit Esther-
-the fast of Esther , which was instituted in rememberence of the
three-day fast by the Jews of Persia at the request of Esther. Many
of the other Purim rituals are taken from Esther 9:22 : "to
commemorate the days on which the Jews obtained rest from their enemies
and the month which for them was turned from sorrow into gladness and
from mourning into a holiday; they were to make them days of
celebrating and rejoicing, sending portions of food to each other and
giving gifts to the poor.
