People wear costumes at the first Purim parade in Jerusalem since 1982, 42 years, on Monday, March 25, 2024. Tens of thousands of Israelis came out to watch the parade during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, while 134 hostages are still held by Hamas in Gaza. Purim celebrates the deliverance of the Jews from a plot to exterminate them in ancient Persian 2,5000 years ago. Photo by Debbie Hill/ UPI
