What is Purim?

Purim is a feast commemorating the salvation of the Jews when Queen Esther went before King Ahasuerus to plead mercy for her people. Prior to Esther's arrival she asked the Jewish people to fast and pray with her for three days and nights before seeking mercy. The holiday begins at sundown the day before the given day. Customs during the holiday include reading the Book of Esther, fasting, giving to the poor, feasting, drinking wine, and wearing masks and costumes.
