PJ Our Way Does Purim!

PJ Our Way Does Purim!

Amazing and fun videos, activities, and ideas for Purim!

Purim traditions include dressing up, sharing gift baskets or mishloach manot with friends, making noise by shaking groggers, and staying up late with your friends and community. People give tzedakah and read the Book of Esther, or megillah, which shares the story of how the Jews of Persia were saved from annihilation. Want to know more? Check out the sections below!

Read

The Seventh Handmaiden book cover

The Seventh Handmaiden by Judith Pransky

Handmaiden to the secretive Lady Esther, Darya has uncovered a treacherous plot that could endanger them all. Can she save the people she cares about and discover the truth about her past?


The Queen of Persia book cover

The Queen of Persia by Moshe Moscowitz

This hilarious graphic novel contains details based on a Midrashic (ancient Rabbinic interpretation) understanding of the Purim story. It tells the story of how Queen Esther miraculously rescued the Persian Jewish community from the evil Haman with vibrant illustrations, kid-friendly jokes, and clever quizzes.


Whatever After: Two Peas in a Pod book cover

Whatever After: Two Peas in a Pod by Sarah Mlynowski

Abby and her brother enter a fairy-tale world through a mirror in their basement, right into a fractured version of The Princess and the Pea. When the Kingdom of Bog anoints Abby as its new princess, she decides to run a contest to find her strongest, bravest and kindest successor. Abby’s princess contest is inspired by the story of Purim, when King Ahasuerus searches for a replacement for Queen Vashti and marries the courageous Queen Esther.

This all looks so cool! I actually chose The Seventh Handmaiden! It's really good. We did the hamantaschen recipe at the following website: https://www.esteeskitchen.com/blog/lemon-hint-hamantaschen?rq=Lemon-hint&fbclid=IwAR0WTEwvJyww_8l6IgoCe6UI8zHuhCPtjm3DNWaLjsw37z3dbZs8V3AFLG0. It's really yummy, but instead of 1/5" thick, we did 1/4" thick, and instead of strawberry jam, we did blueberry jam, and we made our own almond flour.
