Holidays are very important in every culture. In fact, Americans have many important holidays such as Thanksgiving and The Forth of July. In addition, Jewish Americans celebrate holidays such as Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. Moreover, Jews also celebrate Passover, Hanukkah, and Purim. All Jewish holidays have some religious significance.

Holidays are an important element in every culture. Holidays may have both religious and historical significance. For example, both Fourth of July and Thanksgiving have historical significance because they both involved the development of the United States when some of the colonists broke away from England; needless to say England doesn't view either Fourth of July or Thanksgiving as a holiday; therefore English people don't celebrate these holidays. I think this is because they are both holidays that are a sore subject to English people. Since holidays are an important element in every culture it should come as no surprise to anyone that there are many holidays in the Judaism that have religious significance. Some Jewish holidays include: Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Passover, Hanukkah, Purim, and Tu Bishvat. I celebrate and follow all of these Jewish holidays. Many people Jewish and Christian know about Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, and Hanukkah. However, many people have little or no knowledge about Purim. Here is some information about Purim.

I never had known much about Purim. This article was informative and sheds a new light on the Book of Esther.
