Question
What cities other than Jerusalem, if any, celebrate Purim on the 15th of Adar?
Answer
Jerusalem is the only city that celebrates Purim only on the 15th of Adar. Several other cities celebrate on 14th and 15th since there is a doubt of their status. This includes Tiberius, Yafo, Acco, and Hebron.
