Purim Resources: Many wonderful Purim resources are available to you at no cost.
As always, the Lookstein Center provides remarkably
in-depth Purim resources.
Gateways is a Jewish Education site which features several Purim resources specifically designed for children with special needs and educational challenges.
The Jewish Agency for Israel offers a comprehensive menu of resources including activities, history and geography, feminist perspectives, a summary of specific Purim customs practiced in different countries, and innovative educational activities.
The National Library of Israel’s Purim resource pack contains historical gems from the time of the British mandate – Purim celebrations, pageants, discounted railway tickets to encourage attendance at holiday festivities, and a somber cancellation of a Purim party due to the Warsaw Uprising. It also features personal insights from a collection of letters home from Jerusalem and activity suggestions.
