"There are never enough #Jewish #holiday #movies.
The holiday of #Purim is a time when #Jews traditionally congregate to read #Megillat #Esther, a #story filled with intrigue, emotions, violence, and more. And yet, while a holiday like Passover has the incredible #films “The Ten Commandments” and “The Prince of Egypt,” Purim has no such movie.
Until someone makes an ageless classic worthy of turning on every Purim, we need to find something to watch.
To try to help you have something to put on during your Purim revelry and celebration, I watched every single adaptation of the #Book of Esther I could get my hands on..."

@dukepaaron Purim is my favorite holiday.
@AlliFlowers yeah I love Purim. But its 3rd for me.
Simchat Torah
Tisha B'A
Purim
Yes I have at various times ranked all the holidays and I realize this list is a joy sandwich filled with sadness 😆
@AlliFlowers that last part? Yeah I think we all get it. Sigh.
@AlliFlowers I had this magical experience a few years ago during the recitation. I was sitting on the floor and closed my eyes and I swear I felt like I had transported back in time to Jerusalem in the city. It felt so real. Loved it. Also tragedy is my comfort zone (as long as it isn't recent).
Its taken me a bit to get back to enjoying Simchas Torah. Oct 7th rocked my psyche.
