THE PURIM LEAP
The Gemoro ( Sanhedrin 64b) כמשוורתא דפוריא . Rashi explains “On Purim,
children made a fire in a pit and jumped over
it.”
The Rema (*Darkei Moshe O.Ch. 690) quotes from the Aruch who
writes.
All Bachurim make an effigy of Haman and hang it on their roofs
for a few
days.
When Purim comes, they make a fire and they have a ring on which
they hang the effigy over the fire. They jump from one side (of
the fire)
to the other. This
ring is called *Mashvarta Depurim.
*This Darkei Moshe is printed only in the new Turim or in the
single volume Sefer D.M.(not in Tur)
* Shavarta = leap-jump
