"grager"의 정의 및 의미

What is a "grager"?

A grager is a noisemaker used primarily during Jewish celebrations, especially during Purim. It consists of a handle with a spinning mechanism inside, which produces a loud noise when twisted or shaken. Traditionally, the grager is used to make noise whenever the name of the villain, Haman, is mentioned during the reading of the Megillah, a key Purim ritual. The purpose is to drown out his name and celebrate the defeat of evil. Gragers are often brightly colored and are enjoyed by both children and adults as part of the festive atmosphere.
