Purim
Purim
Purim is a Jewish festival celebrated by the reading of the Scroll of Esther, known in Hebrew as the Megillat Esther, which relates the basic story of Purim. Under the rule of King Ahashuerus, Haman, the King's prime minister, plots to exterminate all of the Jews of Persia. His plan is foiled by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai, who ultimately save the Jews of the land from destruction. The reading of the megillah is typically a rowdy affair, punctuated by booing and noise-making when Haman's name is read aloud.
Congregation Emeth's typically has a special celebration for Purim. Most adults and children dress in costumes for the event and hamantashen, triangular-shaped filled pastries representing the hat of the king's evil advisor, Haman, are served.
