Being that the Jewish year of 5784 is a leap year, we have an entire extra month added in. So instead of just one month of Adar, the month which Purim occurs, we have two. First comes the additional month, then the regular one.
And in this extra additional month, we have a mini Purim holiday. Where do the funny hats come in? Well, we 'dress up' on Purim because Hashem's presence in the Purim story was hidden, so we hide behind a costume. Levik and Chaya Mushka were so eager to get Purim going today! Learn more about Purim this Monday night at 8pm.
