The Jewish holiday of Purim is celebrated at 14th of the Jewish month of Adar (usually in March). Jews around the world will convene to read the Story of Esther in the court of King Achashverosh of Persia and how the Jews were saved from total destruction under the decree of the Evil Haman by the Jew Mordechai.
In honor of the Jewish people’s salvation and overcoming their enemies, Jews throughout the ages send gift baskets of food called mishloach manot in hebrew [lit. the sending of portions], to family and friends and gives alms to the poor and deserving members of their communities.
