Hi Everyone! 

 

Passover is a Jewish holiday, of Biblical origin, marking the 

birth of the Jews as a people and their emergence as a unique 

nation in history, devoted to G-d's will. It celebrates the 

liberation of the children of Israel from slavery in Egypt 

over 3000 years ago, under the leadership of Moses. 

 

This year, Passover begins on Wednesday night, April 5, 2023

Photos of Purim in Jerusalem



 Hi Everyone!


I did a lot of walking today in Jerusalem and I had a lot of fun

watching various performers and seeing the creative costumes 

that people wore. 

I started at Kikar Safra - City Hall, then up Yaffo street

to the Midrachov and then continued to Machane Yehuda.

I then took the light rail back to city hall to take more photos.


I saw one girl dressed up as Wednesday Adams. She looked

very "Adams" and even had "thing" with her. However, she did not want 

to be photographed. Stayed in character all the way.


At the end of my walk, I took a unique photo near the 

City Hall light rail station. Did you know that Jerusalem

has a street called "Shushan" ? 

Check out the last photo on the second page of photos.


I posted the photos at:

https://jr.co.il/jerusalem/2023/jer663.htm


Enjoy the photos!

Please share. Thank You!


Have a good night,
