Tonight begins the festival of Purim. It is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the miraculous events that are recorded in the Book of Esther. Purim is a lively celebration where adults and children dress up in costumes, hamantaschen (three-cornered pastries with a sweet or fruit filling) are eaten, the Book of Esther is read, mishloach manot (gift baskets of food) are given to friends and family, and donations are made to the poor. Happy Purim! #cbn #cbnisrael #purim #Israel #jewishholiday #happ
