Adloyada

The name is derived from the rabbinic saying in the Talmud that one should revel on Purim by drinking "until one no longer knows (Aramaic: עַד דְּלָא יָדַע ʿad dəlāʾ yāḏaʿ‍) the difference between 'blessed be Mordecai' and 'cursed be Haman'".

[3][4][5] The first Adloyada parade was initiated by Avraham Aldema [he], a teacher and co-founder of "Hevre Trask [he]" (Yiddish for "Noisy Buddies"), and was held in Tel Aviv during Purim in 1912.

The municipality issued annual limitations on the Purim celebrations such as a prohibition to use explosives and dress up in costumes that may offend the Jewish religion or the Israeli nation.

[6] During the 1928 carnival, with the theme "10 years to the national home", Hevre Trask presented a 10-candle Menorah (as a symbol to Balfour's statement); instead of candles there was a rude gesture and the sign "free Aliya, Jews in the top clerical work".

In addition, the Gdud held an annual costume competition with the theme of the superiority and importance of the Hebrew language.

On the day of festivities, a public trial was held for the puppet, during which Dizengoff, Menachem Ussishkin, Chaim Weizmann and Yehoshua Hankin ruled that the monster was guilty of various crimes including fraud, spending the people's wealth, and destruction of the achievements of the pioneers.

[6] Adloyada was discontinued in 1936 due to the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine and subsequent turbulent events in the world and the area.

Some, in particular haredi leaders disapproved Adloyada seeing them as contrary to the Torah values, exaggerating "lewd and drunken" misconduct of few.

[10] In the last few years, an attempt was made to return to tradition and resume the Adloyada as an important main event in different cities.

"[4] This means that people should drink on Purim until he reaches a state of not being able to distinguish between the evil Haman and the blessed Mordecai.
