Photographer’s Note

The festival celebrating the Jews’ deliverance from Haman’s plan to exterminate them, as described in the biblical Book of Esther. It is celebrated on the Purim - fourteenth of Adar (March), and is noted for its gaiety, especially its Purim plays and festival meal. In the synagogues, where the Book of Esther is read from scrolls, children twirl the rattle-clackers each time Haman’s name is mentioned. Purim, too, is a time for sending sweet-platters to neighbors and charity to the poor.

Well composed and DOF controlled, Gilad! Colors are vivid and clear, with well chosen "tiger" as a model!
;)
You planning on covering the Adloyada in Holon too?
TFS!
