Purim Day

Tuesday, Mar 3, 2026 · Cultural

Purim is a joyful Jewish holiday that celebrates courage, bravery, and standing up for what is right. Families and communities dress in costumes, read the story of Esther, give food gifts to friends, and enjoy special treats like hamantaschen. Learning about Purim at school helps Jewish students feel seen and proud of their traditions. For other students, it builds respect and cultural curiosity, and shows how different cultures celebrate bravery, community, and joy.
