The joyous Jewish holiday of Purim is celebrated every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). Purim 2026 begins on Monday night, March 2 and continues through Tuesday, March 3. It commemorates the Divinely orchestrated salvation of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian empire from Haman’s plot “to destroy, K*ll and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day.” Literally “lots” in ancient Persian, Purim was thus named since Haman had thrown lots to determine when he would carry out his diabolical scheme, as recorded in the Megillah (book of Esther). In 2026, the holiday of Purim is as relevant as ever. Join us to celebrate by doing the 4 Mitzvot of Purim (hearing the reading of the Megillah, giving gifts of food to a friend, giving charity, and enjoying a festive meal) and joyously enjoy the holiday!
