Don't try this in Mecca.
Or Gaza
Or Egypt
Or West Bank
Or Lebanon
Or...
True, it's on Purim--but still, when during the year does a mosque allow this?

Well... Spiderman praying alongside Haredi Jews... that's not a sight you see every day.
Heh
I thought his nickname was "Wallcrawler" apparently "Wallkisser" works well too!
I wonder if it is weirder to wear a spiderman costume or a Siberian costume near the Kotel...
Both are foreign customs and costumes anyway... goyishe mayses...
The costume isn't Siberian, it's Polish. But yes, totally inappropriate in the Middle East. Jews who lived inArab or Muslim lands never dressed in that fashion.
Sergio, that is an interesting way of looking at it.
Of course, they don't see it as a costume, while "Spiderman" knows that he is (we hope).
