2. Let's talk about Purim.
First google
The festival of Purim is celebrated every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). It commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman's plot “to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day.”
What happens? Something between Halloween and Mardi Gras.
"The result is a mad-cap party of non-stop craziness, which takes over pretty much the whole country for two days (Jerusalem and other walled cities celebrate a day later, meaning with some traveling you can double your Purim fun.) The streets are filled with kids and grown-ups wearing insane outfits, and there’s so much going on, one literally cannot avoid bumping into a party. Grab a bottle of bubbly, fill up your pockets with hamantaschen, and let your head go!"
