Special costumes out of modesty and respect especially for the religious and ultra-Orthodox sectorTraditional Purim costumes in this community may include biblical characters, historical figures, or symbolic representations related to Jewish heritage. These outfits usually include long sleeves, high necklines, and may incorporate elements such as a headdress or tassel to adhere to religious dress codes while participating in the holiday celebrations.

Among the variety of costumes she offers to the religious sector at prices equal to every pocket - the High Priest costume, the Rabbi Ovadia Yosef costume, the Jewish Mordecai costume, a Torah scroll, a luxurious princess bride, and more.

The game and toy company "Click Toy", which owns the "Toy Boutique" chain, reports that the most popular costume for 2024 is an IDF soldier's costume. 53% of the costumes sold online for Purim are costumes of IDF soldiers - with a significant difference from the costumes in second place, the Ice Princess, and the third Cop.

Considering the fact that the chains offer costumes of this type at prices that reach 100 and even NIS 200 , this is a very significant discount, which makes the desired costume accessible to everyone.

"Click Toy" realized that this was going to be the trend, and prepared in advance: "We purchased a large amount of soldier costumes," said the company's CEO, Kafir Gabai, "so that we can meet the huge demand. On top of that, because of the large quantity we purchased, we were able to lower the price for the consumer, and in a special sale we are offering costumes of soldiers from all the troops for only NIS 29.90."

CEO Kafir adds, that "one of the reasons we started the operation is that both I and the VP who works with me are combat soldiers from Givat, and it was important to us that anyone who wants to dress up as a soldier - can do so." Among the other costumes offered by the chain: policeman -NIS 19.90 , red cap -NIS 39.90 , bride -NIS 29.90 , firefighter -NIS 39.90 , princess NIS 49.90 , police officer NIS 39.90  and special accessories such as festive masks, colorful wigs, wands and robes to enhance the festive spirit of the holiday.

The costumes can be purchased in the "Toy Boutique" chain of stores in selected stores nationwide and on the company's website.

The delivery of the rations of the Beit Ha'Ve'el association, which helps people with disabilities - the proceeds of which will be dedicated to the restoration of its house in OtefThe Beit HaGalits association is launching its portion delivery for the holiday of Purim. The association, which was founded in 1979, and helps hundreds of teenagers and adults with physical disabilities throughout the country, announced that it will dedicate the proceeds from the project to the restoration of its home in the Gaza Envelope - the Southern House on Wheels in Kibbutz Urim.

From the beginning of the attack in the south on 7.10, where armed terrorists were still roaming near the house, and until today, for over 3 months, the association's southern house has been used as a place of residence for various reservist companies, and it is shut down from educational activities in favor of military activities. The wheelchairs were replaced by weapons, and the young campers were replaced by hundreds of soldiers.

In the House of Wheels, the army was allowed to take the building and create a radical change of purpose, with the understanding that it would have to return to its former status and beyond that before returning to its current rehabilitative-educational activity. This is in order to allow the campers, for whom the house is their second home, to return to a comfortable, adapted and renovated building. The association intends to meet this need with the income from the ration delivery project it launched.

"As an association and as a company, we have the duty to return the Beit HaGalits to operation in the Gaza Envelope," said the CEO of the Beit HaGalits Association Aviv Spigelman. "And we are giving the public an opportunity to be a part of this through the ration delivery project, which was designed and built accordingly."

Go to their website, order delivery of dishes and help the House of Wheels to return to activity as soon as possible.

Price range NIS 14 - NIS 45 only.

Get a recommended wine from Barkan Winery: BLUSH is a rosé wine on a different level and perfect for a Purim meal. A wine that combines delicacy and luxury and is suitable for any occasion.

BLUSH from Barkan Winery is a rosé that was launched last summer and immediately became one of the most popular and beloved rosé wines on the Israeli palate.

BLUSH rosé is produced from Kaldok grapes grown in a single vineyard on the slopes of the Judean Mountains. The vineyard sits in a small wadi, surrounded by hills and characterized by a unique microclimate. The wadi slopes trap the cool night air in the vineyard and ensure low temperatures, which are precisely suited to the ripening of the grapes.

The Caldoc variety (hybrid of Grenache and Malbec), which originates in the south of France, is an ideal variety for the production of fruity, floral, aromatic and wonderful rosé wines.

The color of the wine is a very light and elegant salmon color, on the nose wonderful aromas that combine peach, strawberry and citrus blossoms accompanied by tropical touches that captivate from the moment the bottle is opened.

Already in the first sip, the mouth is filled with pear and white fruit flavors, which continue to a long and fruity finish with a crisp and refreshing acidity.

Recommended price for the consumer - NIS 60.

Can be purchased at the wine shops and selected marketing chains and the BLEND website
