Not to worry Richard, the Mossad agents are the #1 costumes in Israel this year. Dubai now has an extra 450,101 suspects to take into account!
Actually! I heard that badly disguised Mossad agents is one of the most popular Purim costumes in Israel this year! You have to hand it to Israelis for having great senses of humor about themselves. Any common episode of Eretz Nehederet would get American comedians lynched.
Can you elaborate on this Hamaan person? I am not familiar with the story?
Richard hi,
Yes, indeed from what I’m hearing “Gail” was a very popular costume in Israel.
As to the Purim story, a small correction: Vashti was not “dumped” she was beheaded. And the request explicitly called for her to come out naked, as far as I remember.
