Purim 2029

The deliverance told in the Book of Esther, read aloud.

In 2029: Wednesday 28 February in Karaite practice, and Thursday 1 March in Masorti and Reform practice.

Like every day of the Jewish year, it begins at sunset the evening before. Karaite dates are projected, and may move a day once the new moon is sighted.
