WHAT IS PURIM? ‘Feast of Lots’ A Joyful Commemoration: The Salvation of Jewish People in Ancient Persia
‘Pur’ is the Persian word for ‘Lot’. In the Book of Esther 9:26; “Therefor they called these days ‘Purim’ after the name ‘Pur.'” Back in the day, Haman was the top official under King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I). He despise Jews. He was granted a favor from the King, who allowed him to create an Edict to be enforced throughout the Kingdom. The conniving Haman cast lots to ‘randomly’ choose the 13th day of Adar as the day to Massacre all Jews throughout the Persian Empire. The King was going to allow this Genocidal Plot, but before it happened, Queen Esther(covertly Jewish), got news and warned Mordechai who in turn developed a plan to thwart Haman’s Plot.

Some Schools will hold a costume contest and organize a parade of all the costumed children. While it is traditional to dress as characters from the story, many Jewish families celebrate Purim as an alternative to Halloween, with children dressing in non-traditional costumes and masks. There is no “right” or “wrong” costume for Purim.
Many Synagogues make a point of including families so that the children will be able to not only attend in costume, but shake their noise makers and contribute to the merriment through making lots of noise.
