Summary: Purim is a Jewish festival celebrated on the 14th or 15th day of the Hebrew month of Adar in commemoration of the deliverance of the Jews in Persia from destruction by Haman.

In an effort to teach concerning the power and equality of women, Yeshua reminded his disciples of the woman Esther, and how through her, God delivered Israel from Haman (Y:11:36-37).

Scriptural mention of the Feast of Purim help construct a timeline of Yeshua’s ministry (Y:28:1; Y:39:1).
