     Why Do We Dress Up on Purim?


 

  

  

Here is a sampling of the story: The king wanted his wife to come to a party; she did not want to, and she was killed. Then an evil man wanted the Jews dead and plotted to accomplish this with the approval of the king. The king remarried, and his new queen happened to be Jewish, and arranged for the decree to be countered. Only after the fact, when one looks at the entire story, does one realize the great miracle that transpired. 
The Talmud writes that just as the Jews at the time pretended to be serving other gods, G‑d pretended that He was going to destroy the Jewish nation, and in the end He did not.

I see signs a sprouting buds on the trees and the tips of green plants pushing out of the soggy ground. Yellow Daffodils are opening up with the bright color of sunshine. The signs of spring are everywhere, can you sense them too?
