''--The Megillah is read twice in the course of the festival: on the eve of Purim (this year, after nightfall on March 3, 2007), and during Purim day (March 4, 2007). It should be read in the original Hebrew from a parchment scroll written by a specially trained scribe. To hear a portion of the Megillah as chanted in the original with its special Reading of the Megillah On Purim, the Book of Esther, known in Hebrew as the Megillah (the Scroll), is read enthusiastically and with great drama. Cheers sound whenever the heroine, Esther, or her uncle, Mordecai, are mentioned, and loud boos and hisses come forth at the sound of that wicked Haman's name! Children love to wave their groggers, the noisiest noisemakers you've ever heard, at the mention of the villain Haman! Purim plays are traditional, as well.Wearing Costumes Jewish people express their rejoicing on Purim by wearing disguises and masks to remember that Esther had to conceal her Jewish origins when she became queen. There is often a costume carnival as a celebration. In theBroro park,Flatbush, Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York, it is fun to watch the ultra-Orthodox children parade through the streets in their Purim costumes every year.

" Join Operation Purim''
by collecting Tzedakah house for house On Purim, giving matanot l’evyonim is an integral part of our celebration. We cannot rejoice unless we make it possible for those less fortunate to join in the festivities. Giving tzedakah allows the poor to be able to afford their own s’eudah, or festive meal . Pennies for Purim is an innovative program that can get the entire community involved in the special Purim mitzvah of matanot l’evyonim. The basic idea is to raise funds by covering an area of the synagogue—a classroom, social hall, or other large space—in pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, which will be donated to an organization that fights hunger or poverty. In the weeks leading up to Purim, spread the news that you are collecting coins for this incredible drive. Hold your big event on Purim, and have everyone involved bring their coins and spread them out on the space. Provide hamentaschen for everyone! But there is also another aspect to the relationship between matanot l’evyonim and rejoicing. Jewish tradition expects that “everybody, even the poorest Israelite who accepts charity, [be] obliged to give at least two gifts to two poor persons” (Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Chapter 142). This law makes it clear that giving gifts on Purim is actually part of the rejoicing; in a sense, by compelling even the recipients of tzedakah to give to others, we are saying that there is a joy in giving that we want everyone to be able to experience.

This law requiring everyone to give matanot l’evyonim also blurs the lines between the rich and the poor. In our pursuit of economic justice and an end to the great gap between the most and least privileged, we also seek to erase those distinctions. In the Babylonian Talmud, Rava says, “One is obligated to be intoxicated on Purim until one does not know [the difference] between ‘cursed is Haman’ and ‘blessed is Mordechai’” (BT Megillah 7b). Instead of becoming so drunk on Purim that we cannot tell the difference between the hero and the villain of our story, let us make Purim a day on which we envision a world that does not know such vast differences between the wealthy and the needy, but, rather, sustains all of its inhabitants in security and comfort.

,by and Sending of Gifts and Food to Familes in Israel also in New york Help Poor Jews Celebrate Purim Contact your local Jewish agencies or congregation to find out if there is a community fund specifically to enable the Jewish poor to celebrate Purim. If there is no fund, create gifts of Purim goodies such as hamentaschen and bring them to people who would have difficulty buying the items themselves. Children of any age can decorate the boxes or make greeting cards to include. Gifts might be brought as part of a visit to a senior center or might be left anonymously. Your local Jewish Family Service or rabbi can provide you with a person or place that would love to receive your gift.

by join Purim make your reservation One popular custom at Purim is mishloach manot, which means "sending of gifts" in Hebrew, and matanot la-evyonim, "gifts for the poor." By sending gifts and inviting people to our festive Purim meal, we share our joy with them. If you have close Jewish friends, you might want to consider sending them a fruit basket at Purim. This may give you an opportunity to tell them that you appreciate their Jewishness --------------attentiom---------------------- this purim you must be ready for experience Shabbat you msut call before for make reseravtion-"'( preference if you have you won car you need big van or car n necessray but helps) in Jewish Guest House 3 sleep in a room,Jewish hotel in Brooklyn and motze Shabbath be ready for your Kosher and modest only Wearing Costume only Jewish Wearing Costumes aloud and be ready for Experience Kabbaklah in Purim by Shalach Manot (Gifts to One Another)
One must give a gift which consists of two portions to another person. Both men and women are included in this mitzvah. The food must consist of something edible or drinkable without further cooking or preparation. One may send meat, fish. cooked pastry, wine and other beverages. These gifts should be sent to as many people as one chooses but they should be sufficient to convey regard for the recipient. If at all possible, these gifts should be sent by messengers, rather than delivered personally because the Megillah uses the word mishloach (sending) for these gifts. .'''-''BASIC PURIM FACTS AND INFO FROM PURIM.COM!
The Days of Purim Purim can either fall on the 14th of Adar or the 15th of Adar, depending upon where you live. The reason for this is because the Jews of Shushan originally observed the festival on a different day than the Jews who lived elsewhere. In the other provinces the Jews waged war on the 13th and observed the 14th as a day of festivity and rejoicing. The Jews of Shushan waged war during the 13th and 14th of the month and observed the 15th as a day of festivity and rejoicing.'''Therefore, Purim celebrated on the 14th of Adar is called Purim of the Open Cities while Purim on the 15th of Adar is called Purim of the Walled Cities. In these days, the only city that has the status of Shushan and therefore celebrates Purim on the 15th is Jerusalem. In a number of other places, the scroll of Esther is also read on the 15th of Adar due to doubt. In those communities, the essential observance of Purim is fixed for the 14th of Adar (since this is when everyone reads the Megillah) and though the reading of the Megillah is repeated on the 15th, the blessing which precedes the Megillah reading is not recited.
The Observance of the Day. There are four mitzvot which are obligatory on Purim: the reading of Megillat Esther, festivity and rejoicing, Shalach Manot (sending gifts), and Matanot L'Evyonim (gifts to the poor). Explanations follow:
Reading of Megillat Esther One is required to read the Megillah both by day and night. One may read the Megillah all night until dawn, and from sunrise until sunset. If one has read the Megillah before sunrise but after dawn, one has fulfilled the obligation to read the Megillah.Both men and women are obligated to hear the Megillah.Feasting and Rejoicing It is a mitzvah to have a sumptuous meal on Purim, including meat dishes and wine. This feast must be held during the day. When Purim is in on Erev Shabbos -- as it was in Jerusalem in 5758 -- one must begin one's meal early in the afternoon before Mincha in order that one can finish early enough so as to have a good appetite for the Shabbos meal. The miracle of Purim came through wine. Vashti's downfall and Haman's downfall came through a wine feast! There is also a custom of drinking until intoxication as our Sages tell us, "A person is obligated to drink on Purim til he no longer knows the difference between cursed is Haman and blessed is Modechai." If one fears that he or she may be harmed by excessive drinking of wine or come to levity thereby or even forget the
