Purim is a jewish festivity that is celebrated every year in Adar 14th (the 6th month of jewish calendar equivalent to february or march of our calendary).
Purim is celebrated in Israel to commemorate a miracle about the salvation of jews to had been aniquilated by a king of Persia in 450 b.c.
The way to celebrate Purim is wearing costumes, seending gift to your friends, and in the nigth the common thing is to eat a great banquet and adult people could drink alcohol until to not distinguish between goodness and evil deed and it`s legal for that night.
One of the most important simbolls is Aman`s ears (Aman was the evil guy that persuade the king to kill jews) this is a kind of cookie made in this festivity to remember the miracle.
In Israel Purim is very important because it`s remember values like give and to make happy to the people celebrating the life.
If I have to say why Purim is my favourite festivity I can say that is very funny share with the friends wearing costumes and drinking a lot to celebrate the life´s happiness.
