Purim

Purim

An elaborate and perplexing story that is not officially a Yom Tov?

During the reign of the Persian empire the Purim story continues during Ramadan, about half way through Ramadan is when the Jews celebrate Purim, or something.  

The question that starts Purim and is asked during the celebration is...who is Haman and who is Mordecai?

What the story of Purim, in a generalistic way of saying is saying/teaching is...

Haman and Mordecai did, basically, the exact same thing.  Mordecai however, deployed a different strategy with modified tactics.

The story ultimatly foretells the downfall of the Persian empire - in other words, during the Ottoman and Persia entities reign, at least at that time in history, of the civilized world, the story of Purim pre-dates the Ottoman empire and Persian rule.  Hence, one could say the story of Purim could be somewhat prophetic in nature.  We're a little bit superstitious...

In other words, there were a few other tribes and nations that were also civilized that had nothing to do with mono-theism or the Persians...however, if one's family, religion or life story is intertwined with the Avrahamic religions, then the story of Purim becomes, perhaps, somewhat fascinating and illuminating.

In other words, the story, perhaps, MaMash, MaMash really explains the deep sorrow of the Jewish people knowing what, probably, will ultimately be the outcome of something small or something big.

The Jews then attempt to drown their sorrows for the avenging angel of the Jews simply doing it's job on their behalf, ultimately causing the demise of the Persian empire.

In other words, for roughly 6,000 years, the study of Torah is really important for religious Jews.
