Purim Meshulash, meaning “threefold Purim,” is a rare calendric occurrence affecting how Purim is observed in Jerusalem and other ancient walled cities. It occurs when Shushan Purim (Adar 15) falls on the Sabbath, causing the holiday to be celebrated over three days. The Megilla reading and distribution of charity take place on Friday (Adar 14, called Purim dePrazos). The Al ha-Nissim prayer is recited on the Sabbath (Adar 15, Purim itself). On Sunday (Adar 16), called Purim Meshullash, mishloach manot are sent and the festive Purim meal is held. Intervals between occurrences vary considerably, ranging from three to twenty years.
