Purim in 2021

In the purim story, Jews were deemed for extinction. However, the Jews persevered and survived. Tonight, I celebrate purim with my 97 year-old Great Grandmother, Lily Ebert BEM, an Auschwitz survivor. We wish you a very happy, safe and joyous Purim. (📸: Lily on purim, 1986) https://t.co/UnnNlRCTTQ

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "On the eve of Purim, I would like to say to those who seek our lives, Iran and its proxies in the Middle East: 2,500 years ago, another Persian villain tried to destroy the Jewish people and just as he failed then, so too will you fail today. https://t.co/MRyAOPS9JF

Judaism is a great religion. Tonight we celebrate the festival of Purim and we are commanded to get drunk. So drunk in fact that we can’t tell the difference between hatred from our enemies and support from our friends. I love it. Luv y’all. Love Jezza. Jezsher. Hicc. Jez 🥃 https://t.co/GZMbUngLvh

Jews read the book of Esther on #Purim which begins tonight. Here's an illustration of Esther pleading with King Ahasuerus, with the gallows set up by Haman (boo!) in the background.

Purim: the festival commemorating the biblical story of Esther, a young girl who was sex-trafficked into the harem of the Persian king Ahasuerus, and risked her life to take advantage of her precarious position of influence and prevent her people's genocide #heroine #onthisdayshe https://t.co/4OeKdrpU6I
