Unless there are objections, I find these things to be incredibly similar if not identical. There is considerable overlap and each term tends to be used interchangeably. Consider making fun of one's teachers during the holiday, both terms are used. Valley2city 21:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• While "similar," Purim Torah and Purim spiel are entirely different subjects. IZAK (talk) 07:09, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. At least among American non-Orthodox congregations, the two terms are far from interchangeable. Purim spiels are the norm, and Purim Torah is not ordinarily practiced at all. Even the phrase Purim Torah would be completely unfamiliar. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 06:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
