Did you know that Purim is the only Jewish holiday that is observed on two
different days, depending on one's location? Jerusalem residents celebrate Purim
on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Adar, while the rest of the world celebrates
on the 14th. In establishing this rule, Esther highlighted a vital lesson of the
Purim story. The Jews of her time had forsaken Jerusalem when they feasted at
the king's party which celebrated its destruction. By celebrating Purim in
Jerusalem on a different day, we highlight its special status and its eternal
connection to the Jewish people. This Purim send an Israel365 gift basket and
bring holiday cheer to your choice of recipient - a soldier, sick child or
orphan in Jerusalem.
