Purim is a joyful springtime Jewish holiday. It celebrates the survival of the Jewish people in ancient Persia following a plot to massacre them all (a familiar theme throughout Jewish history).

This year, Purim begins at sundown on Saturday, March 23, 2024 and ends the following evening, Saturday, March 24, 2024. To mark the occasion, you may be looking for just the right words to use to greet Jewish friends and loved ones, colleagues, customers, or students. Whether you’re writing Purim quotes in a card or email, attaching Purim greetings to Purim gift baskets, acknowledging the holiday on social media with Purim captions, or expressing your Purim wishes face-to-face, these are the best Purim greeting ideas that will help you strike just the right note.

Some context on why Purim is celebrated: the story of Purim comes from the Book of Esther. In it, the Jewish Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai foil a plot by King Achashverosh's top deputy, Haman, to kill all the Jewish people in the empire. In doing so, they save their people and King Achashverosh sentences Haman to death.

People who observe mark the holiday by listening to the reading of the Purim story, consuming festive food and drinks, exchanging Purim gift baskets, and giving to the needy. It’s also traditional to dress up in Purim costumes and eat three-sided pastries with sweet fillings, known as hamantaschen.
