Ultra Orthodox Jews seen drunk in the streets of the ultra orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Meah Shearim, during the Jewish holiday of Purim. The Jewish holiday of Purim commemorates the Jews' salvation from genocide in ancient Persia, as recounted in the Book of Esther which is read in synagogues. Other customs include: sending food parcels and giving charity, dressing up in masks and costumes, eating a festive meal, and public celebration. March 6, 2015.
