How many years has Purim been celebrated
Question
How many years has Purim been celebrated?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
In the year 3006 from the creation of the world, we were privileged to witness the miracle of Purim. Therefore, in the year 5782, it has been 2376 years since the miracle of Purim.
In the year 3007 from the creation of the world, the sages established the holiday of Purim in memory of the miracle, and this year we are observing the mitzvah of Purim for the 2375th time.
