Rare Tel Aviv Adloyada (Purim Parade) Vintage Israeli Poster, 1929
Extremely Rare Vintage Poster of Purim Celebrations (“Adloyada” Parade) in Tel Aviv, 1929 – Lithographic Poster

A rare advertising poster for “Purim Celebrations in Tel Aviv, 26-27.3.29” (Hebrew), printed by A. L. Monsohn Lithographic Press, Jerusalem in black and orange lithograph. Designed by A. Nathan, this poster won the 1929 painters’ competition.

The striking black and orange design features bold, exaggerated lettering and a harmonious blend of East and West. The poster reflects both international influences—such as Russian avant-garde aesthetics, masquerade elements, a fashionable woman’s haircut, and a man in a tuxedo—and distinctly local and Jewish themes, including Purim costumes, palm trees, a Bauhaus-style balcony overlooking the sea, and most notably, a radiant sun and a glowing orange in the background.

About the Adloyada Parade

The Adloyada (Hebrew: עדלאידע or עדלידע, lit. “Until one no longer knows”) is a festive, satirical procession held in Israel during Purim (or on Shushan Purim, the second day of Purim, celebrated in “walled cities” Jerusalem).

The Adloyada parade is a tradition dating back to the early days of Tel Aviv, in 1912, as a grand public event. After the establishment of the State of Israel, the parade was revived and continues today. Over time, the term “Adloyada” has become synonymous with any Purim parade held across the country.

The name derives from a Talmudic saying instructing people to revel on Purim “until one no longer knows” (Aramaic: עַד דְּלָא יָדַע, ad de-lo yada) the difference between “Blessed be Mordecai” and “Cursed be Haman”.
