Title: Guess the Purim Costume
Post by: WMATAGMOAGH on March 02, 2010, 05:12:47 PM
The Jewish holiday of Purim was celebrated on Sunday in most of the world and yesterday (Monday) in Jerusalem, Jericho, and Shushan.  It is customary to dress up in costume for the holiday. so here are some photos of me in my homemade costume, hopefully it meets the standards of posters on this board.  Can you figure out what it is?

Yes, I agree.  "Mind the Gap" gave it away!

I added the Mind the Gap for my non transit friends' benefit.  I was asked to lead part of services on Monday and think someone may have photographed me doing so from behind, I'd like to get my hands on that photo...
