Israel prohibits “disguising yourself as a sinwar” during a Jewish celebration. The Israeli Ministry of Education has set the broad guidelines that educational personnel must adhere to when commemorating Purim next month.
The Ministry also called for preventing students and children from disguising themselves in costumes that cause terror or fear or hurt feelings. Purim - which is celebrated this year on March 23 and 24 - is the most popular holiday in Israel, and celebrates what many historians and academics say is a pure myth.
