Whats Purim?
« on: March 13, 2008, 08:19:58 AM »
Being that I wouldn't actually know, can any of you tell me what you do on this holiday?  What's the ritual?

Like this up coming week is one of the holiest week for all Christians around the globe.  We got Palm Sunday and then one week later it is Easter Sunday.

But I don't know what Purim is.  Enlighten me.  O0

By the way, have you heard any good feedback from your Orient trip on the animation?  Hope everything worked out.

Do all Jews observe it? Or suppose to.  Or is it just for certain Jews that came from certain parts of the world?

Is it close in resembling any Christian or Secular holiday?  Maybe if it had some simularity to a Christian holiday ritual I would be able to understand it better.
