Purim celebrates the deliverance of the Jews of the Persian Empire from Haman's plot, as told in the Book of Esther (Megillat Esther). The festival has four commandments: reading the Megillah, sending food gifts to friends (mishloach manot), gifts to the poor (matanot la-evyonim), and the festive meal (seudat Purim). Costumes and noise-making at Haman's name are widespread customs.
