Harish, Israel. Reading of the scroll of Esther during the Jewish holiday of Purim. In this holiday Jews traditionaly dress in costumes, read the scroll of Esther, a story about an anti-jewish failed plot in ancient Persia, and make a racket with clappers and other assorted noise-making devices whenever the name of Haman, the main antagonist, is mentioned.
