Israeli holiday subdued by loss of loved ones and Gaza war

Season 2024 Episode 88 | 6m 14s

This week for the first time in more than four decades, Jerusalem held a parade for the Israeli holiday of Purim. It’s traditionally a party for kids and adults, but this year, the war has muted the festivities and even caused controversy over that parade. Nick Schifrin and producer Karl Bostic talked with Israelis about a subdued celebration in a time of war.
