It is the time when Jewish people celebrate God using Queen Esther to save them from annihilation. They go to Synagogue where the Book of Esther is read. When the name Haman (the one who hatched the plot to get rid of them) is read, they boo. They dress up in costumes - young and old. They also take gift baskets to people and eat together.
We walked up to Ben Yehuda St. to watch the celebration. On the way up we could hear parties and people rejoicing.
Ben Jehuda St. was packed with revelers, many in costumes. There was dancing and a general sense of joy.

About as wild as it gets for us!
