Happening this week.
Friday 14 Adar I
Purim Kattan
In regular years, the 14th of Adar is Purim, the festival that celebrates the salvation of the Jewish people from Haman’s evil decree in the year 3405 from creation (356 BCE). In a leap year — which has two Adars — Purim is celebrated in Adar II, and the 14th of Adar I is designated as Purim Kattan, the “Little Purim.” There are no special observances, however, associated with Purim Kattan, other than the omission of Tachnun from the daily prayers and a prohibition against fasting or holding eulogies on this day. The Code of Jewish Law cites an opinion that one should increase in festivity and joy, but rules that there is no obligation to do so; “Nevertheless,a person should increase somewhat in festivity… for ‘One who is of good heart is festive always’ ” (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 697:1).
