Purim in Pictures - Jerusalem and Maaleh Adumim

Jerusalem began celebrating "Shushan Purim" Thursday night just as most of the rest of Israel, including Maaleh Adumim east of the capital, was ending Purim festivals.

Purim is a national holiday and costume party in Israel, when there is a spirit of unity. The election campaign has turned Purim into a two-month festival for politicians, who put masks over their masks in their desire to create total disunity that actually unifies the country not to trust any of them.

How's that for "Na-hafach-hu"?

Enjoy.
