The rabbis of the city of Bnei Brak have issued a ban on all use of explosives or other dangerous materials on Purim. The holiday of Purim, which is marked by extra-joyous and boisterous celebrations, will be celebrated this year on Friday, March 9; some youths begin their \"energetic behavior\" some days before, however. The Bnei Brak municipality has opened a special center to receive reports on illegal possession or sale of the dangerous materials.
