Why Dress up for Purim

Purim is a Jewish holiday. This year, Purim is on February 27, 2010.

On Purim, children, and some adventurous adults, too, traditionally masquerade—an allusion to G‑d's hand in the Purim miracle, which was disguised by natural events. Make sure your children dress up as good, cheerful characters, such as Mordechai and Esther.
