Purim 2025 begins Thursday night, March 13, and continues through Friday, March 14 (extending over Shabbat and beyond in Jerusalem)

The festival of Purim commemorates the Divinely orchestrated salvation of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire from Haman’s plot “to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day.” It is celebrated with Megillah readings, gifts of food, charity, feasting, and merriment.

Dear President Donald J. Trump:

"For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the [Americans]/Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Esther 4:14
