MIDEAST ISRAEL CELEBRATING PURIM IN MEA SHEARIMThe ultra-orthodox community is celebrating the Jewish holiday Purim in the streets of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem, Israel on Monday March 5 2007. Jerusalem celebrates Purim a day later than the rest of the world and is known as Shushan Purim. In cities such as Jerusalem, which have a wall, or that were fortified in the past, the Megilla (book of Esther) is read on the 15th day of Adar. On this day the Jews of Shushan, the city in which King Ahashverus dwelt, celebrated their victory. Photo by Rafael Ben Ari/Chameleons Eye. |
