Purim HistoryPurim highlights themes of unity, joy, and triumph over adversity, all of which are drawn from the biblical Book of Esther. Central customs involve the reading of the Book of Esther (Megillah), the gifting of food to friends (mishloach manot), donations to the poor (matanot la'evyonim), and the feast of Purim (seudat Purim). Purim commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman’s plot to eradicate them, as recorded in the Book of Esther. Within Australia, Purim resonates profoundly among its Jewish community, particularly for its themes of survival and resilience in the face of oppression. These narratives echo the experiences of many who sought refuge in Australia during the turbulent 20th Century. Moreover, for a country rich in cultural diversity like Australia, Purim provides an opportunity for an enriched understanding of Jewish heritage and traditions. Purim in Australia is observed through public readings of the Book of Esther, dressing up in costumes, and vibrant communal gatherings. While the participation in events may vary across different Jewish communities, the spirit of joy, unity and giving remains universal. In Sydney, Melbourne and other cities with significant Jewish populations, you'll often find lively Purim street parades, carnivals and performances, with delicious traditional foods like hamantaschen (a triangular filled pastry). Purim typically falls in late February or March, depending on the Hebrew calendar. Facts about Purim
