Purim 2025/5785 begins on Thursday, March 13th (at sundown), and Jews will celebrate by hearing the megillah (the Book of Esther, which tells the story of Purim), dressing up, sharing gifts of food with friends (mishloach manot), giving to those in need (matanot l’evyonim), having a festive meal (seudah). A common treat is hamantaschen, triangular cookies with a filling. You can join a community celebration or use our resources to create a celebration at home.
