A Caryn.com Purim Party

"Esther before Ahasuerus"

Purim, perhaps one of the most spirited Jewish holidays, is a time for Costumes, Noisemakers and treats, making it a popular Jewish holiday for children everywhere, since kids love to put on Purim costumes! Purim is popular among Jewish college students too, because how can you not love a holiday where the rules say you are to drink until you can not distinguish between Haman (the bad guy) and Mordechai (the hero)! This year, Purim starts at sundown on March 24th. It is celebrated with the reading of the Megillah, which tells the story of Queen Esther and how she saved her people from destruction at the hands of the evil Haman. It is also celebrated with the giving of gift baskets to friends, family and the needy. We hope you enjoy this web site to discover the wonderful traditions and story of Purim, and the things you need to have a fabulous Purim celebration.
