פּוּרִים
The story of Purim is told in the Book of Esther, whose eponymous heroine plays the leading role in saving her people. The holiday is traditionally celebrated with wild abandon, fancy dress and partying as well as the reading of the Megillah (retelling the story). There is also a tradition of giving gifts to friends and the poor.
