After a long wait, Purim is finally around the corner. Sefaria has been making the most of the leap year by using the extra month of Adar to prepare new texts and resources that will enhance your Purim learning and celebration. Check out the Purim collections, new texts, learning opportunities, and even a built-in gragger.
- Purim on Sefaria: Resources for Educators is a collection of activities that can be used leading up to Purim or as part of a classroom Purim celebration. For a deeper look into Purim customs, check out Joy, Gifts, Scrolls, and More: The Many Customs of Purim.
