End of Days Guide to Purim
“Consequently, these days are recalled and observed in every generation: by every family, every province, and every city. And these days of Purim shall never cease among the Yehudim, and the memory of them shall never perish among their descendants.” Esther 9:28 (The Israel Bible™)

On Wednesday evening, Jews around the world will begin celebrating Purim, one of the most joyous yet intentionally inexplicable holidays of the Hebrew calendar.
With its post-Temple-era origin story taking place outside of Israel, Jews commemorate their victory over the Persians by wearing costumes and partaking in a drunken feast. Jewish holidays are usually precise in their timing, however Purim is celebrated on different days within walled cities, most notably Jerusalem, observing the holiday one day later than the rest of the world. Despite its bizzarre qualities, or perhaps because of them, Purim is designated along with Hanukkah as one of the holidays that will remain in place after the arrival of the Messiah.
A topic as confusing as Purim certainly requires a guidebook. It is for this reason thatBreaking Israel News compiled its top articles on Purim.

Purim: A Time When Enemies Become Friends in Redemption
Jews are commanded to drink on Purim until they can no longer tell the difference between Mordechai, the righteous hero, and Haman, the evil villian. The story took place in Persia, a region currently ruled by an evil Iranian regime that is Israel’s greatest enemy. But in the same way that the Book of Esther flips tragedy onto victory, the Sanhedrin sees Iran as a possible key-player in the construction of the Third Temple.

Queen Esther is the iconic and legendary character of the Purim story. Her tomb, and that of the other hero of the story, Morchechai, lies in the Iranian city of Hamedan. Today, the Iranian Jews are known as the children of Esther.
