Hi,
"“The choice is given”: This teaches that a choice is given to people to perform good or evil. Further, it is written, ‘And you shall choose life,’ and we do not tell a person, ‘Choose,’ unless he has the option of choosing. We learn that the choice is in his hands."
(Comment of Rabbeinu Meshulam ben Klonymus to Pirkei Avot 3:15, cited in Aruch סעד)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Purim Celebrations of 1000 years ago
Hi,
"On the days of Purim, the global custom is for young men to make an image of Haman and suspend it from the rooftops for four or five days, and then on Purim to make a bonfire and throw the image into it. They stand around it and sing, and they have a ring suspended above the fire, and people jump [through it] from one side of the fire to the other."
(R’ Natan baal ha’Aruch, Aruch, שוור)
Have a great day,
Mordchai
