Description: Traces the history and development of the festival.
Like all the festivals of the Jewish calendar, Purim as we know it today is the product of a long history of development. Ostensibly a commemoration of national deliverance from danger, we should have expected solemn ceremonies of thanksgiving such as characterize Passover and Hanukkah. The victory over Haman is, however, distinguished by a unique mood of high-spirited frivolity, coloured by high alcoholic content and a general tendency to make light of matters which would be treated more reverently at other seasons.
