Mayim Bialikis back with another installment of “You Know How I Know?,” the video series in which the belovedactress, neuroscientist, and Jewish momexplainsJewishholidaysto us.
This time, the holiday is truly worth the hype:Purim! Truly, what does this festive holidaynothave?! Drinking, dressing up, and partying all night (and also, deliciouscookies)! As Mayim herself says: Purim is trulylit.
In this short and highly enjoyable video, Mayim breaks down the story of the holiday — with some help fromKelly Clarkson lyrics. She also reminds us that, aside from the frolicking, imbibing, and partying, Purim does have meaningful lessons to impart. The holiday teaches us that it’s imperative for us to stand up when we see injustice. It’s also a tale about howone womancan change the world (yay, feminism!).
Watch it below, and happy Purim, everyone!
