It's Purim




Yes, the guy reading the Megilliah is in drag. It's Purim!

Every year Jews all over the world read the story of Queen Esther from the Megilliah on Purim. Everyone gets into costume and the adults get really really happy and we read the story of Queen Esther.

Folks from New Orleans should recognize a lot of Mardi Gras in Purim. There's costume contests, parades and of course the reading from the Megilliah. The Megilliah is the story of Queen Esther in hebrew.
