Purim 5782 in Israel: War, Plagues, Somebody Call Batgirl​

Batgirl at the Gabrieli Carmel School in Tel Aviv, March 15, 2022.

Our photo server, Flash90, was particularly generous this Purim, with a lovely assortment of costumes snapped by their talented photographers. And we sprinkled a few from other sources. So, without any ado at all, here is this year’s selection:

Here are two, count them, two versions of Muppet scientist Bunsen Honeydew’s lab assistant Beaker. Another experiment gone terribly wrong? / Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90

You must have heard of the Boyaner cowboys. Well, here is where they get their initial training, in the Meah Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem. / Yonatan Sindel/Flash90

This Tsfat kid is the ultimate kosher ham. / David Cohen/Flash90OK, time for political humor: MK Itamar

Inebriated folks in a Jerusalem alley. The photograph is from 2021, but we couldn’t ignore it. / Shir Torem/Flash90

Some more current events Purim: a Jewish Ukrainian girl who fled the war zone is getting ready for a Purim party at a temporary shelter in Kishinev, Moldova. / Yossi Zeliger/Flash90

The four leaders of the world (L-R): Zelinsky, Bennett, Putin, and Biden, at the Gabrieli Carmel School in Tel Aviv. They look a little eerie without eyes, more like an alien invasion than a political get-together.

OK, this took some thinking. Bravo!




This one is stunning. No idea how much makeup they had to use and how tiny is the child underneath:

Shay and Bar Tzabary - Me'alay Dmamah (Silence Above Me)

Above me silence, blue-lit of light
Light of a star shining white
The meaning of a secret
Untouched for eternity
Towards my home's window
The wind stormed

Let me come and go
Only play love

Reach out Your hand my brother
This is the hour of dawn
Moment of pleasure without
A spare word, in my dreams
Your character appears
Moment of calmness
Poured before me

- by Ahuvah 'Ozery
