Purim In Tel Aviv, 1932

Fascinating footage from the early thirties.
Notice the thriving Jewish life in pre-1948 Israel (which is sure to send the anti-Israel crowd into conniptions), as well as the real awareness of Nazism in its early days.

Thanks for the history lesson. I wonder what Purim is like in Tel Aviv now. Have the costumes been sexed up like we have in the U.S. on Halloween?
Tel Aviv has become nothing but vulgar – not just on Purim.
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die!” – Isaiah 22:13
What exactly is your complaint? The way Israelis celebrate Purim is not strictly Torah-based no matter where they do it, right? What does dressing up like Spiderman or dancing around a float featuring Homer Simpson have to do with Queen Esther, anyway? Have a little fun in life, Shy Guy.
If only it was Spider Man and Homer.
I have lots of fun in life. Go rain on yourself.
Don’t tell me not to fly–
I’ve simply got to.
If someone takes a spill,
It’s me and not you.
Who told you you’re allowed
To rain on my parade!

Some Israelis need to take some balance to the following blog. I believe this German fella is working for the Iranians.
