Happy Purim

Today is "Purim" - a Jewish holiday.
Purim is often considered the most cheerful and colorful of all the Jewish holidays.
Its story takes place in Shushan, the capital city of the Persian Empire, in the 3rd year of King Ahashverosh's reign.
The holiday celebrates the Jews' victory over oppression, the failure of Haman's plot against the Jews, which is recounted in great detail in the "Esther Megillah" (The Book of Esther).
As always, it is celebrated with a feast.
The Feast of Purim, established by Mordecai to commemorate the deliverance from Haman, a day of feasting and gladness.
In Israel, as kids we used to built a large bone fire and place a figure of a man symbolizing "Evil Haman" and light it aflame
It is similar to the "Burning Man Festival" in the USA. (Just not as grand.)
I guess Purim is like "Burning Man", only without the fantastic art, sex, nudity, marijuana and wild people.
