Whether accidentally, or on purpose, you’ve chosen to come to Tel Aviv at potentially the most enjoyable time of the year. It’s Purim – aka Jewish Halloween; when all of Israel ditches their regular personas, puts on costumes and parties to their heart’s content. Celebrating the time that we Jews escaped (again!) the evil Haman during the Babylonian Empire by dressing up in costumes and hiding our identities, Purim is a big festival of fun that practically spans an entire week. It’s even part of the religion that we have to get drunk and be merry on the day! So what better place to be in than Tel Aviv; the party capital of the Middle East! Here are the top 5 Purim events of 2020!
