The story of Purim begins in the Persian Empire in the fourth century BC, when the Jews lived under the rule of King Ahashverosh. In this period, the sinister high-ranking official of the king, Haman, spoke to exterminate all the Jews in the empire. He chose the date by lot (in Hebrew “pur”, hence the name of the holiday – Purim).

The holiday of Purim is celebrated each year in the Jewish calendar on the 14th day of the month of Adar, which usually corresponds to March in the Gregorian calendar. Since the Jewish calendar is lunar and varies each year from the Gregorian calendar, the exact date of Purim changes every year.

The salvation for the Jewish people came from an unexpected country – Queen Esther, who was Jewish, but it was a secret. When she found out about Haman’s plans, she risked everything to turn to the king and uncover Haman’s misdeeds. Her courage and diplomacy led to the salvation of the Jews and the fall of Haman.

Purim is celebrated in memory of these events. It is a day of merriment, masquerades, gifts for the poor and the exchange of food and treats between friends and families. The holiday is distinguished by joy and festivity, including reading the Scroll of Esther (Megilat Esther).

The Hamantashen, the symbolic triangular cakes of Purim, have an interesting origin. Their name literally means “the ears of Haman“. According to one theory, their shape symbolizes the three corners of Haman’s hat. Another theory suggests that their shape represents his ears, which were a symbol of evil and betrayal.
