Dear Chutzpanim, Purim in Tel Aviv is really great fun! Purim is a Jewish holiday where you're obliged to get drunk, literally one of the Mitzvot that orthodox Jews must follow (although of course being Jews, there are many different arguments and interpretations on what the rule actually means). In any case, this mitzvah is one of the more followed rules of the Torah, even amongst secular Jews who normally don't care too much about breaking shabbat or eating dinner with a goy.
One of the customs of Purim is to dress up in costumes, similar to American Halloween, except for less creepy and more slutty styles. In Tel Aviv, there's a huge open-air, daytime street party every year in Kikar HaMedina, the big circle in north Tel Aviv. There's loud disco music and too many people.
I went as Ashkenazi superhero Moshe Batman, who originally had defeated the evil Persian Haman in an epic battle, if my knowledge of history is correct:
In the spirit of the holiday, I made a song called Moshe Batman: Protector of Tel Aviv, and I included some videos from Purim. My poor wife had to record while I embarrassed her ;P

In any case I hope you enjoy! Let me know what your costumes were for Purim! Follow me on Facebook for updates! Thanks,
