Back:
Purim is Judaisms most dramatic, fun-filled holiday.
The main event is reading the Book of Esther. Set in Persia 2,300 years ago, the Megillah (as it is commonly called), recounts how a seemingly unrelated series of events spun together to save the Jewish people from annihilation.
The quickie version is as follows: When King Achashverosh throws a huge six-month party and the queen refuses to follow orders, she is replaced by a new queen Esther the Jewess. Esthers uncle Mordechai, the leader of the Jews, uncovers a plot to assassinate the king also putting him in a favorable position with the king. All this comes in handy when Haman, the kings top advisor, obtains a decree to have all the Jews destroyed.
In the end, through a complex twist of events, guided by G-ds hidden hand, Esther gets the decree reversed, Haman is hung on the gallows, and Mordechai becomes the Prime Minister.
