The Adloyada, which in Hebrew is broken down into ad lo yada, meaning “he no longer knows,” which is the traditional yardstick for how drunk must one be to be keeping the mitzvah of drinking on Purim: until he no longer knows the difference between “blessed be Mordecai” and “cursed be Haman.”
The Adloyada parade is a tradition dating back to the early days of Tel Aviv, when it was the Zionist response to the Fat Tuesday Carnival in Europe – and fell on about the same date, give or take.
