 for your kind wishes!!!
Purim isn �t as famous as Passover or Hanukkah... It �s the Jewish Carnival.
Purim will be celebrated all over Israel on Sunday, and in Jerusalem on Monday. People have a festive lunch and exchange food baskets. Observant people go to the synagogue and listen to the "Megilla" - a scroll that tells the story of Purim.
Today children wore costumes and had a fun day at school, but no luck with the weather... a winter day!
There is an idiom in Hebrew that says: "It�s not Purim every day" - meaning: one can�t have fun every day...
But now it�s Purim so.... fun is allowed!!! 
Lots of love from rainy and stormy Jerusalem,

The Book of Esther (The Bible) is read in the synagogue and everytime the evil Haman �s name is mentioned everyone makes a lot of noise with noisemakers. School is on holiday till Tuesday and kids and grownups alike will be wearing costumes, going to parties and eating a lot of junk till then. It really is like carnival - when the weather permits it, there are parades and dancing in the streets and lots of entertainment. Another chance to break one �s diet.
