At Purim, we read the story of Esther, traditionally handwritten on a scroll similar to this one.
A ‘grogger’ means “noisemaker” in Yiddish. We shake it each time the villain's name (Haman) is mentioned while reading the Meguilla, the story of Purim. Assemble these groggers, decorate them with paint and make some noise!
On Purim we wear masks and dress up! One explanation is that this tradition imitates Queen Esther’s masking of her Jewish identity and strength, which she later revealed at a time of need.
At Purim, we send a mishloach manot (Purim basket) so that our friends or family have enough food and treats for the Purim feast.
