Leave it to the Jews to have a holiday that has two possible days for celebration. But one of those days is contingent on whether the city you live in has walls - but not just any walls, walls that have been around since the time of Joshua ben Nun! Needless to say all of that can cause a people to want to drink until they can't tell the difference. So, Team Liz took advantage of this two day affair and spent Saturday night in Tel Aviv hearing the Megillah read and toasting to Esther.

(aka bam bam) making sure he doesn't make any mistakes.
On Monday morning we went to the Conservative Yeshiva for some more Megillah (click here for more photos of CY) and then our friends Rafi and Devorah welcomed their son Noam into the Jewish people by having his brit milah (bris) early in the afternoon on Monday (click here for more photos from the bris). Monday evening we got ourselves dressed up and headed to our friends house for a very festive meal (click here for more of these photos). Below are just a sampling of photos from the the weekends festivities. Enjoy!
LeAnne, Abe, Ella and Marion follow along as the Megillah is read at the CY. The noise-makers are sounded every time Haman's name is mentioned.

Check out that mustache - it is 100% real!
