Tel Aviv will be celebrating Purim in a big way Friday. Beginning at 10 a.m. Rehov Ben-Yehuda will host an array of activities, shows and costumed performers on colorful stages throughout the street. This is the first time Ben-Yehuda will be a focal point for this kind of Purim extravaganza, with the area between Frishman and Arlosoroff marking the main stage.
