In many communities, Purim is similar to Halloween - a really fun time for kids (and adults) to show their creativity and personality through their costumes. You’ll see a lot of Esthers and Mordecais in particular. Traditionally children dress as characters from the story. At Purim carnivals, children dress in costume and play carnival games. At some Megillah readings, both children and adults dress in costume. There’s a long tradition of masquerading on Purim. Kreplach, a dumpling filled with cooked meat, and served in soup, is also frequently enjoyed during Purim. The shape of the pastry is often said to represent the three-cornered hat that tradition has Haman wearing. A hamantaschen is a sweet pastry, rolled out, filled with poppy seed, fruit, or other filling, and then folded into a triangle. The most well known food associated with Purim is the hamantaschen. Have you heard the phrase “The whole Megillah?” The celebration of Purim differs from community to community, depending on level of observance and local culture, but most celebrate in these ways: Reading the storyĪt gatherings, members of the community or religious leaders recite the Book of Esther from the scroll called the Megillah. Historians differ on the historical basis of the story, but we’ll focus on the culture and traditions. Ahasuerus is enraged and instead orders Haman to be hanged. She does so at a banquet, revealing that Haman is planning to kill all the Jews, which includes her. Mordecai finds out and convinces Esther to tell the king that she’s Jewish. So Haman plans to have Mordecai killed, and, finding out that he’s Jewish, plans to kill all the Jews in the empire as well.
Mordecai refuses to bow to Haman, angering him. The guards are apprehended and hanged, and Mordecai’s service is recorded in the court’s records. Her uncle Mordecai discovers a plot by two palace guards to kill the king. The king marries Esther, who keeps her Jewish identity a secret. In the story of Purim, the most important characters are King Ahasuerus, Esther, Mordecai and Haman. VERY abridged synopsis of the story of Purim The greeting on Purim is “Chag Purim Sameach,” which means Happy Purim.
In 2023, Purim starts the evening of Monday, March 6th, 2023, and ends the evening of Tuesday, March 7th. Read on to learn a little bit about the holiday, the traditions associated with it, and how you can celebrate Purim in Charlotte. The story is told in the Book of Esther, and dates to the 5th century BC. Purim commemorates the thwarting of the plans to kill all the Jews in the Persian empire. It’s got it all - costumes, pastries, noise, games. But if it has been this laborious to make an appointment, I can only imagine how difficult it could be to communicate while doing business with them.Purim is many Jewish kids’ favorite holiday. It's a shame because I imagine they likely have a nice store, great items, and I love doing business locally, especially consignment. Still, never received a call back from any of these attempts to get in touch. I then called again middle of last week (I believe Aug 17th), leaving a voice message - again - and requesting a call back that day. When I called, no one answered, but instead I got voice mail, and I left a message stating that I'm interested in an appointment, gave my clear details, and referenced my previous message sent days before. I did not get a chance to call that Tuesday, but instead that Thursday, August 10th.
I then went on the website and sent a "contact us" message through their system requesting an appointment time. I would have appreciated the offer to call me back at a time when Amy was available, but I stuck with their process. I spoke with an employee who let me know that I would need to make an appointment with the owner (Amy) to review my items, and that meant I needed to call back on the following Tuesday, August 8th. I found this store via a Google search for men's consignment in Charlotte and to find out more info about the consignment process, I called the store August 5th.
