Purim (Hebrew: פּוּרִים, Pûrîm, “lots,” from the word פור pur) is a Jewish holiday commemorating the deliverance of the Jewish people from the plot of Haman, an official of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, as recounted in the Book of Esther. Haman served as royal vizier to King Ahasuerus and sought to destroy the Jewish people; his plans were thwarted by Mordecai of the tribe of Benjamin and his adopted daughter, Queen Esther. The holiday is celebrated with public readings of the Book of Esther (Megillat Esther), exchanging gifts of food (mishloach manot), giving charity to the poor (matanot l’evyonim), and festive meals.
