Purim celebrations (Reuven Castro)
As every year, Purim celebrations come late to Jerusalem, but today (Wednesday) they painted the main streets in especially happy colors as thousands of revelers wander between attractions, parties all over the city, a huge Purim feast, concerts and more.
The traditional Purim lily party in Nachalat takes place on Nissim Becher and Agrips streets, including in the alleys and nearby streets.
In the city center, the children's star Miki and the singer Nono appeared earlier in Safra square.
In addition, circus artists, marching bands, huge performances and street artists from all fields appeared.

On the occasion of the holiday, six buildings and cultural institutions were decorated, which host on their roofs magical and colorful monsters, who will stay on them for about two weeks.
The buildings that were decorated: the Shaare Zedek Hospital, the People's House, the JVP complex, the city hall building at IDF Square and more. The characters were designed by Adi Anna Telzhansky, who also designs the costumes in the program "The Masked Singer". In addition, South Alley in the heart of the city center
, which connects Hillel and Shamai streets, has become a magical street of wonders, where visitors pass between representatives of fairies and characters, colorful and special lighting, effects and a setting that puts those who wander through it into the story of "Alice in Wonderland." "I invite all residents and residents of the city and beyond to participate in the diverse celebrations , which are suitable for all ages.
Have a happy Purim," Mayor Moshe Leon said.
