During the festival of Purim, people commemorate the day on which the fate of the Jewish people\u2014who in the 5th century BCE lived in exile in the Persian Empire\u2014was dramatically reversed and they were saved from extermination.<\/p>\n

The Persian king Ahasuerus<\/a> had taken the Jewish woman Esther<\/a> as his wife, making her queen. Her uncle and foster father Mordechai<\/a> learned that the Persian, antisemitic courtier Haman<\/a> was plotting to annihilate the Jews. Mordechai informed Esther, who passed the message on to her husband, whereupon countermeasures could be taken. The result was that Haman, together with his sons and accomplices, was himself put to death, and this potential day of doom for the Jews was transformed into a festival day.<\/p>\n

Purim is celebrated exuberantly. People dress up\u2014some as the clever Esther, others as Uncle Mordechai, or as anything they like. During the celebration, people eat and drink, and the poor are not forgotten. Adults are permitted to become drunk\u2014so drunk that by the end they can no longer tell the difference between \u201ccursed is Haman\u201d and \u201cblessed is Mordechai.\u201d<\/p>\n
