During the Purim festival in Jewish tradition, two significant days are celebrated: Purim itself and the day after, often involving the public reading of the Megillah and festive meals. Participants engage in revelry, including dressing up in costumes, sharing food gifts, and giving charity to the needy. The joyous atmosphere highlights the themes of survival, redemption, and community bonding, making it an exuberant celebration within the Jewish calendar.
