Does someone know the story about Purim?

Answer 1

It is in the Bible.
The book of Ester--Old Testament.

Answer 2

a Jewish festival instituted by Esther and Mordecai, during the reign of Ahasuerus king of Persia, in memory of the providential deliverance of the Jews from the malignant designs of Haman. The propriety of the name appears form the fact that the lot was cast in the presence of Haman for every day from the first month to the twelfth, before an auspicious day was found for destroying the Jews; and thus the superstition of Haman was made the means of giving them time to turn his devices against himself, Pr 16:33; Es 3:7; 9:20-32. This festival was preceded by a day of fasting, and was observed by reading the book of Esther publicly in the synagogues, and by private festivities, mutual presents, alms, plays, and self-indulgence. Some think it is alluded to in Joh 5:1. It is still observed by the Jews, in the month of March.

Answer 3

Hi, yes, the history of Purim is very important to us as Jews. in a town named Shushan there was a decree made by Haman that intended to kill all the Jews found there. But thanks to the actions of Mordekhai and Esther we are still alive! Esther encourage the Jews to fast before she could talk to the king. All of them did it and many who were not observant made Teshuvah(repented or return to Judaism)When she went to talk to him, she was not allow to enter before the presence of the king without permmission but she did and the king as he loved her let her enter. That day the king knew Haman's plans but instead, Haman was the one who was killed by mandate of the king. On these days we still fast as a remembrance to those miracles that happened that day. On this year the Megilah(narration of the book of Esther) is read before Habdalah(the conclusion of the Sabbat) which is the 13 of Adar or May 3th. The next day, May 4th the Megilah is read again and Purim concludes with a party in which we beat a paper doll(pinata) to resemble the Arur(pius) Hamman.

Answer 4

Yes.

The Jews are in exile in Persia, and have built up a community there. The King of Persia has married a Jewish woman, Ester, but he does not know she is Jewish.
Ester's uncle, Mordechai overhears two men plotting to kill the King. He tells, the king, and it is noted that 'Mordechai the Jew helped save the king's life'.
The king's advisor, Haman (boo hiss) is a very wicked and evil man. He orders that everyone is to bow down to him; however, Mordechai refuses.
In retalliation, Haman (boo hiss) secretly decrees that on the 13th of Adar, all Jews are to be slaughtered.
Mordechai hears of this, and tells Ester, begging her to plead with the King. However, she fears that if she does so, he will find out she is Jewish and have her killed.
For three days, all the Jews fast and pray for Ester. Eventually, she goes to her husband and asks him to invite Mordechai and Haman for a banquet the next night. He agrees.
That night, he cannot sleep, and he asks a servant to read to him from the book of honours. It opens at the page where Mordechai is mentioned. The King asks what reward he has recieved, and his servant replies that there has been none.
He summons Haman, and asks him what he thinks he should do to a man he wants to honour. Haman, thinking he is referring to himself, says all kinds of nice rewards; however it transpires that he wants to reward Mordechai.
The next night at dinner, Ester reveals that Haman wants to massacre the Jews, and Mordechai, who the king now trusts, backs this up. Haman tries to attack Ester. The King is shocked, and orders that Haman is hanged.
Mordechai then takes his place.
