Yay for Purim! Time to get happy folks, and after the year we've had, it's long overdue. Let's see what the bigboys of the Jewish web have to offer us for the chag. The Jewish Communication Network has a nice little list Purim of links going, while Virtual Jerusalem put out their usual Purim Supersite. Get your divrei Torah on Project Genesis' scholarly Purim page, and if that's not enough, you can get the multimedia learning experience at 613.org's Purim Page.
	What would a Jewish holiday be without food? For some yummy Purim recipes, check out The Chaya Stein Corner or the Jewish Holiday Food sections in Q. JCN has got a food page just for Purim with advice on Mishloach Manot (aka Shalach Manos). If you want to send someone a truly extraordinary Mishloach Manot package, check out Food for Thought.
If you just can't have enough links, get your fix at "Jewish-American Culture Net Links" from the Mining Company. I liked JCN's Three Purim Stories (first time I've ever seen horizontal scroll used creatively). For something a little different, try the Breslov Purim page and get Reb Nachman's take on the chag. Ohr Somayach has a really sharp looking Purim page, and of course, we can't leave out Chabad's Purim page. Canadian scholar Eliezer Segal's "Purim, Parody and Pilpul" is certainly worth a good look.
	Purim is all about fun and joy and light, so make sure you include some sillyness in your holiday activities. Waste some time at JCN's Java driven Purim Word Search, and the Shema Yisrael network has a nice Purim page with some cute games. Chabad of Maryland has a nifty Purim game going at their site. For something completely different, if you like online museums, check out Rembrandt's Haman Begging the Pardon of Esther at the National Museum of Art of Romania. "Acharon, acharon chaviv..." Lastly and bestly, what would a holiday be without a Steve Hausman original? Check out his Purim epic, "Esther's Tale." Have a fantastically fun Purim! -Sq
