Megilla
Scroll of Esther
This is the story of Purim…
We listen to it twice on the holiday of Purim
Hamantaschen
We eat LOTS of these on Purim…
Do you think that they represent Haman’s hat or his ears?
Purim Costumes
Purim is the Jewish dress-up holiday…
Maybe because G-d remained “masked” throughout the entire story of Purim, we do the same in our celebrations?
Amalek
We are commanded to blot out Amalek, his name and his existence…
So far, we haven’t done too well, have we?
