Orthodox Jewish youth are seen wearing fancy dresses during the festival of Purim on the streets of Stamford Hill in north London. Purim is one of the most entertaining Jewish holidays. It commemorates the time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from massacre by Haman. It is customary to hold the carnival-like celebrations on Purim, and for groups of men to go round visiting local wealthy men, collecting for their charity.
