dragojustineApparently Jews wear costumes to celebrate Purim. I did not know this.
It's not so notable that there is a Jewish holiday that involves costumes. Nor is it notable that on such a holiday, the New York subways would be full of Jews in costumes.
What is notable is that yesterday afternoon I got on a subway car packed to the gills with Orthodox men wearing neon clown costumes with tzitzis hanging out and jester hats attached with little kippah clips, and my reaction was basically "look, another Thursday." Oh, New York.
Oh, hey, queer girls: Jennifer Morrison cares about us and wants us to be happy.
