Oops. Checking again, it looks like we had Purim categorized as "major" up until December 2022, and it's only a recent change to minor. We'll switch this back.

Yes. To include Purim, please check the Minor holidays box on the Custom calendar creator page. https://www.hebcal.com/hebcal


Purim is one of my personal favorite holidays, and it's a huge deal in Israel, but it's generally considered a minor holiday.
