Purim is the most joyous day in the Jewish calendar, celebrating the defeat of Haman, one of the evilest and most vicious antagonists in all of human history. Purim is the time for fun – for eating, drinking, carnivals, plays, and food gifts to friends and the poor. A popular way to celebrate is through Mishloach Manot, a basket of food or drink that is sent to family, friends, and others on this day. Purim 2022 begins in the evening of Wed, Mar 16, and ends in the evening of Thu, Mar 17. Here is where to buy Purim gifts in LA.
