About Purim
Purim remembers how Queen Esther saved the Jews of Persia from Haman's plan to kill them, as told in the Book of Esther. People hear the Megillah, the Book of Esther, read aloud in synagogue on the first night and again the next morning. Every time Haman's name comes up, the room drowns it out with noisemakers called groggers.
On the day, people send gifts of food to friends, give to the poor, and sit down to a big festive meal. Kids and plenty of adults dress up. It isn't a public holiday, and work is allowed, though Israeli schools close. In Jerusalem, Shushan Purim is kept a day later, on 15 Adar.

How this is calculated
Each midnight takes one off the number. Today is left out and the day itself is counted, so tomorrow shows as 1 day away. Clock changes for daylight saving make no difference.
In Excel or Google Sheets, type =DATE(2027,3,23)-TODAY() into a cell to get the same count; add 1 to include today.
Counted from Friday, October 16, 2026 (US Eastern time). When you open the page, it counts again from the date on your device, so it matches your own day.
