What is Purim?
For some Purim is a time of fun, masks, games, a way to keep our children entertained - a type of Jewish "Halloween." For others this holiday is yet another drag. And for many others Purim - as opposed to say, Passover or Yom Kippur - is either obscure, irrelevant or simply non-existent. Yet, would you surprised to hear that in many ways Purim is the highest point of the year - sometimes considered even greater than Yom Ki-purim?!
