Today's Israel Inspiration 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.
