The ancient story of Purim bursts into vivid life every year in Israel, whose streets vibrate with fiesta sound and color.<\/p>\n<p>Big parades dominate downtown&#8217;s. In neighborhoods, costumed kids skip around warbling folk songs. Adults donate money to the needy and send plates of goodies out to neighbors. Families and friends sit down to feast together &#8211; and drink wine, again according to tradition, until \u201cyou can\u2019t tell the difference between Haman and Mordecai.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1245\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danhotels.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/header.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox-0\" role=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1245\" class=\"wp-image-1245 size-full\" title=\"purim in israel - Costume - dan hotels \" src=\"https:\/\/www.danhotels.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/header.jpg\" alt=\"purim in israel - Costume - dan hotels \" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"1245\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1245\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">purim in israel &#8211; Costume &#8211; dan hotels<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So who were Haman and Mordecai, and what\u2019s the story of purim?<\/p>\n<p>In 357 BCE, the Persian king Ahasuerus was sitting comfortably on his throne in Babylon, ruler of all civilized countries in the world. His wife Vashti displeasing him, he casually got rid of her and sent scouts around his lands to bring him a woman worthy of replacing her. Among hundreds of beauties corralled into his harem, he took to wife Esther, niece to the sage Mordecai. Esther, under Mordecai\u2019s order, didn\u2019t reveal that she was Jewish.<\/p>\n<p>Haman, the king\u2019s evil prime minister, hated Mordecai and the Jews. He concocted a genocidal plan to kill all the Jews under Ahasuerus\u2019s rule, casting lots (Pur) to determine, by divination, the best time to start his campaign, even paying the king in silver for the privilege of committing slaughter across his lands. Esther, guided by Mordecai via a messenger, finally revealed her Jewishness to the king and denounced Haman in a dramatic scene at a palace feast. Haman was duly hanged and the genocide averted.<\/p>\n<p>Mordecai became benevolent prime minister to Ahasuerus instead of Haman, leading to the Jews being allowed to return to Israel and build the Holy Temple anew.<\/p>\n<p>The Purim story, full of colorful twists and turns, was written down by Esther and Mordecai, commanding Jewry to retell it every year. Every congregation owns a megillah, the hand-written parchment scroll, from which the story\u2019s read aloud once on the eve, and once more on Purim day.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the Purim traditions stem from the theme of hidden things: Esther\u2019s hidden origins, Haman\u2019s plot hatched in secret, clandestine correspondences between Esther and Mordecai, the hidden seeds of salvation for the Jews that entered the palace when Esther became wife to Ahasuerus. As reminders, Jewish kids frolic in costumes and masks on Purim; Hamentaschen cookies hide delicious fillings in their pastry folds, and even the traditional binge is meant to celebrate the bringing to light of secrets &#8211; as it\u2019s well known, \u201cwine in, secrets out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Big Purim parades occur in every major city in Israel and are called Adeloyadah. They begin at about noon on Thursday the 24th, but it is worth double checking the timing of Adeloyadah in the town where you\u2019ll be. Get there early to secure a good viewing, and bring plenty of water. The parades and general partying go on for hours.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1246\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danhotels.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/footer2.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox-1\" role=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1246\" class=\"wp-image-1246 size-full\" title=\"Adeloyadah parade - purim in israel - dan hotels\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danhotels.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/footer2.jpg\" alt=\"Adeloyadah parade - purim in israel - dan hotels\" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"1246\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1246\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Purim party in Jerusalem \u2013 credit: Jerusalem Municipality<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s a Dan Hotel at most major cities that run Adeloyadah parades.
