Chag Purim Sameach! The holiday of Purim is one of the most lively and festive holidays on the Jewish calendar, celebrating the salvation of the Jewish People from Haman, the prime minister of the ancient Persian Empire, who sought to annihilate them. Purim traditions include the exchange of food and sweets, as seen in Marc Chagall’s mural study, in which two adults prepare to exchange gifts.“Purim,” around 1916–17, by Marc Chagall © Marc Chagall / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris -- source link
