Modiin, March 6 - Embarrassment and recriminations echoed through the hallways of the Hannah Szenes Academy today when a pair of seniors arrived within minutes of each other, both clad in a skimpy getup technically evoking Princess Jasmine from the 1992 Disney film Aladdin but in practice serving as an excuse to show much more skin than necessary, eyewitnesses reported.
Bar Shimoni and Tal Fogel, both 17, came to school this morning just before nine wearing the same revealing costume to mark the upcoming Purim holiday, and a shouting match ensued that almost escalated to blows, bystanders recalled. Each had intended to sashay through the school as Jasmine, only sluttier, and thereby to command both the attention of almost all the males in the building and the envy of almost all the females - only to find their respective schemes had failed, not just because of their no-longer-unique getup, but also because other girls had found equally-slutty interpretations of nearly every other profession, character, or costume concept.
Those who saw and heard the encounter between the two Jasmines recalled much screaming and gesticulating, but no specific words, other than individual slurs such as "sharmuta" (Arabic for "slut" or "whore") and "kalba" (Hebrew for "bitch"), among others; the tumult and the acoustics of the school hallways rendered any coherence impossible.
Principal Avner Golan and several faculty members managed to separate and restrain the warring students, with the assistance of their classmates. "That was the most unbecoming display I've seen since last year under almost-identical circumstances," he recalled. "Last year it was slutty nurse- no, that was the year before. Last year was cavewomen."
Principal Golan has considered banning Purim Costume Day, but always faces an uproar from students and parents. The tradition of wearing a disguise for Purim - which will occur this year on Friday, March 14 - dates back at lest to the fourteenth century, and echoes both Queen Esther hiding her national origins and the "hidden hand" of God in the story; unlike every other Biblical work, none of the names of God appear at all in Esther, indicating a transition from open miracles and prophecy to a more grown-up, post-Biblical mode in which perception of the divine becomes a choice, not an imposed reality. The practice of donning Purim costumes persisted even in non-religious milieus such as this one, where, inevitably, the values of secular culture became manifest in the form of overt sexuality.
