Celebrate Purim 2024 with ❹ Mitzvahs! (Saturday night - Sunday) 🎉

Purim begins Saturday night, March 23, and continues through Sunday, March 24. [View Online Version]( [Chabad.org]( ב"ה [Purim]( begins Saturday night, March 23, and continues through Sunday, March 24. Dear Friend, It’s been a difficult half-year for the Jewish people. Since the horrible events of Simchat Torah (Oct. 7), we’ve grieved, gritted our teeth and prayed. Our brothers and sisters are still in the midst of war not of their making, and Jews all over are facing rising antisemitism. And in the middle of it all, comes [Purim]( the jolly holiday characterized by [costumes]( [feasts]( [edible gifts]( [charity]( and [levity](. How can we celebrate at a time like this? But then we reconsider: How can we not celebrate at a time like this? As told in the Megillah (which [we read]( after Shabbat on March 23 and again the following day, March 24), the Jews were saved from their diabolical enemy, Haman, after they joined together as one people, rallying around Torah and prayer. And this brought them to salvation, after which “the Jews had light, joy, celebration, and prestige.” We know it happened then, and we know that once again, our unity and our connection to G-d will help us overcome all challenges. May it happen immediately! Lechaim! - Your Friends @ Chabad.org P.S. [Here]( is an important talk by the Rebbe regarding how to be happy on Purim during challenging times.
