  • A “gregger,” derives from the Polish word meaning “rattle,” (In Hebrew it’s called a ra’ashan, from the Hebrew ra-ash, meaning “noise”). For Purim, a gregger is an essential device designed to make enough noise to blot of the name of the evil Haman, who served as King Achashverosh’s advisor, because it was Haman who plotted to kill the Jews.

Early greggers were fashioned as “ratchets” that when swung in the reveler’s hand, created a loud and particularly annoying cracking sound – the perfect way to eliminate the memory of wily Haman.

And that’s the purpose of the gregger or of any noisemaker you might choose. But although the gregger gained popularity in the 13th century, this familiar rattle or ratchet actually came late to the Purim party. Historically Jews concocted quite creative methods for demonstrating maximum disrespect toward the hated Haman.
