What is Purim?
Celebrates the story of Esther: the Megillah, gifts of food, gifts to the poor and a festive meal.
Type: Rabbinic festival. What it means for the day: Normal working days, with special mitzvot for the day.
Why the date moves
Purim always falls on the same Hebrew date (14 Adar II). The Hebrew calendar follows the moon and adds a month seven times every 19 years, so the civil date moves within a window of about a month from year to year.
