Party Like an Israeli

All that frightening footage out of the Middle East fails to illustrate an often-ignored fact about Israelis — they really know how to party. They aren't shy about showing up to events in costume, for example, or dancing in front of strangers.At last year's Purim celebration, pairs of Israeli ex-pats living in KC showed up in coordinated costumes: women dressed like Queen Esther, a couple dressed as newspapers, and another couple draped in cloth to look like the Israeli flag. This year's Purim party is from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the beautiful Ron Berg Event Space (1525 Grand). There will be music, munchies and a dessert bar. It's $20 at the door or $10 in advance at ypikc.org.
