a triangle shaped cookie, generally with fruit in the middle. You

Party Planning- Throwing a Fun Purim Party
How often do
you get a holiday where the Lord commands you to have a ball? In
honor of all the feasting done by Purim's favorite King Ahashuerus
& Queen Esther, Purim is a time to either throw a party or attend one.
Check out these ideas below for planning your own truly fabulous Purim
Party.
THE STORY OF PURIM
Part
of the fun of a Purim Party is gathering together a group to hear
the story of Purim. Jewish people read the WHOLE book of Esther on
Purim. You could use a shortened children's version if you've got
lots of little kids around, or if your group consists of children
and older, plan ahead of time to rehearse, then act out the story as a
play. We've got an original
Purim Spiel (play) here to
get you started, but feel free to compose your own. Purim is definitely
a time to let your creative and fun side come out and play!
Whether you need help planning a Purim school
party for kids, or a Purim party for friends, you'll find loads of
Purim food, decoration & activity
ideas in this party planning section.
French Quarter Sequin Masks
Dazzling Décor
from
The
concept of disguise is an important Purim theme; therefore
anything that suggests a Costume or Masquerade Ball is also
appropriate for a Purim Party. Place an array of these 10" high
Mardi Gras masks on your party table to add flair to your décor.
The feather and sequin masks come in assorted colors. Package
of 12. (find it in the Mardi Section)

Making
& Sending Purim Gift Baskets
Another
Purim tradition is the sending of gifts. Jewish people give
each other gift baskets at Purim to emulate what King Xerxes/Ahaseurus
did when he celebrated the crowning of Esther and honored her
uncle Mordecai for saving his life, by giving most generous
gifts. Gifts are also given to those in need. We've got beautiful
Purim Baskets ready for you to order and send, and ideas &
supplies if you want to make your own.

Purim people will often make masks of the characters in the

your friends can get!

-Themed Party Invitations, Paper Goods & Party Supplies for
Purim and Passover
If
you're tired of being quiet & sitting still during religious
services, then Purim is the holiday for you! Because during the
telling of the Purim story, whenever the evil Haman is mentioned,
you are supposed to make tons of noise to drown out his name. Jewish
people often use a "gragger" for this, but you can use
any kind of festive noisemaker to do the trick.
