Question 2

When is Purim 5786?

Accepted Answer

Purim 5786 begins on March 3, 2026. Purim is the most joyous and raucous holiday on the Jewish calendar, celebrating the miraculous salvation of the Jewish people of ancient Persia as recounted in the Megillah, the Book of Esther. When the wicked Haman plotted to destroy all the Jews, Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai outmaneuvered him, turning the tables in a dramatic reversal that Jews celebrate to this day. The holiday is anchored by four mitzvot: reading the Megillah twice (evening and morning), sending food gifts to friends (mishloach manot), giving charity to the poor (matanot l'evyonim), and enjoying a festive celebratory meal (seudah). Costumes and masks are worn by children and adults alike, groggers (noisemakers) drown out Haman's name whenever it's read, and the atmosphere is one of unbridled joy. The Talmudic instruction to celebrate 'ad d'lo yada' (until you cannot tell the difference) makes Purim uniquely exuberant in Jewish life.
