Purim is a Jewish holiday celebrated annually in late winter or early spring, commemorating the deliverance of the Jewish people from a plot to exterminate them in ancient Persia. The story is recounted in the Book of Esther, and Purim is a day of festivity and merriment. Traditionally, people attend synagogue services, exchange gifts of food known as "mishloach manot", give to charity, and partake in a festive meal. Costumes and masks are often worn, emphasizing the joyous and festive spirit of the holiday. The central theme of Purim is the triumph of good over evil and the importance of unity and community in facing challenges.
