Or the Purim market!! I kind of love the Kohen Gadol one.

At my chasidic elementary school, they had us all dress up as Kohenim Gadolim - there is a picture of 5 yr old me in the home brew version of that costume.

Leslie's eyes bugged out of her head when she saw that one.

On an unrelated not, you need to read Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick (he did the Invention of Hugo Cabret) you will really appreciate it given your job.

i like that they specify that it's a jewish rabbi.

I know, right? As opposed to what, a Hindu rabbi?

My personal favourite is this one of Rachel. It has a picture of her own gravesite on it. Creepy!
But none of these costumes are new to me, I live in Israel. This is par for the course in any religious area.
