Purim



Rabbis of the Talmud said: A Person is obligated to drink on Purim until he can no longer distinguish between "cursed is Haman and blessed is Mordachai." In Jerusalem, the most religious take this statement very seriously and celebrate accordingly. The more secular crowd also celebrates accordingly. Even people who don't drink are still dressed up and having a good time.

Purim was really exciting in Jerusalem; the atmosphere was overall very festive.
Here are some pictures from hag purim:

I went to a party that might have been the largest party I've been to in my entire life. They had a circus and three different live bands and DJs. It was held in the Jerusalem theater and it was epic.
