Hidden in the photo archive of the Government Press Office is a small treasure: Photos of Purim celebrations in Israel spanning more than nine decades. Purim is a joyous holiday, but Israel takes it seriously. Well, kind of. Since 1912, the 'Adloyada' (literally meaning: "Until one no longer knows") procession parade has been full of costumes and silliness to mark the holiday. Have a look.

Tonight begins the festival of Purim. It is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the miraculous events that are recorded in the Book of Esther. Purim is a lively celebration where adults and children dress up in costumes, hamantaschen (three-cornered pastries with a sweet or fruit filling) are eaten, the Book of Esther is read, mishloach manot (gift baskets of food) are given to friends and family, and donations are made to the poor.
