It’s the Best Holiday of the Year Here is Why:
- it's a mitzvah to let loose and drink
- costumes
- celebration of Jewish continuity
These three are tied to each other - we wear costumes and drink to allow ourselves to forget the external, less spiritual garb of our regular lives, and get into our true spiritual selves. This understanding of who we are as spiritual people is the secret to Jewish continuity.

What is so amazing about Purim?
In addition to the miracle of Jewish survival despite the efforts of our enemies, Purim celebrates G‑d’s intimate involvement in every aspect of this world. Even though there were no overt miracles recorded in the Megillah—indeed, His name is not even mentioned once—G‑d was actively “pulling the strings” to care for His nation.
Additionally, Haman’s edict catalyzed a spiritual revival among the Jews. In a sense, this was even more significant than the Covenant at Sinai—an overwhelming spiritual experience that compelled the Jews to accept the Torah—since it occurred of their own volition, even as they were scattered among the Persian people and immersed in their culture. It was in the merit of this spiritual reawakening that G‑d orchestrated their salvation.
