RABBI’S MESSAGE ISRAEL EXPORT PRODUCT

When I think of an Israel export product I first think of Israelis. Unfortunately, the number of Israelis who have opted to live outside of Israel is too large. The estimates are that there are some 250,000 Israelis who live in California. The current estimate of Israelis living in the United States is anywhere from 600,000 to 750,000. Another figure is that there are more than 1 million Israelis living outside of Israel. All of these are estimates and quite debated among current journalists and professionals. I do not criticize them for opting to live outside of Israel. After all, I have decided to live outside of Israel too. So I am not looking for a discussion on this form of Israel exportation. There is a positive note: a good number of Israeli products are exported from Israel; everything from technology in the form of the guts of my computer to foods, flowers, and even clothing. In Rabbi Dr. Berel Wein’s book “Echoes of Glory” he mentions the fact that Israel was exporting olive oil to Rome. This seemed a bit odd to me because even ancient Rome was a producer of premium olive oil. He mentions the joy that Jews who lived in Rome at the time had in seeing olive oil from their native land in the marketplaces of Rome. It turns out to be an ironic story because it placed Roman ships of trade in Israeli port cities. Roman sailors had the opportunity of visiting Israel and reporting back to their superiors. The knowledge that they brought with them in terms of Israel geography helped Rome years later when Rome would invade and conquer Israel. So the pride of the Israel market turned to tragedy, but we cannot fault Israel for doing what it did. It was not an integral part of the Roman invasion and the war that existed between Rome and Israel. Many years would go by before the modern Yishuv of Jewish settlement in the 19th century would take root and Jews were once again working the land and creating something in Israel that Jews were not permitted to do for thousands of years. Rabbi Baruch Ha-Levi Epstein (1860-1941) was a great Lithuanian rabbi and best known for his Torah Temimah commentary on the Torah. He had an unbelievably analytic mind with a tremendous memory, and he was able to make a living as an employee of a bank and not have to deal with a rabbinic position. During World War I he wrote a book “The Mekor Baruch” which was more autobiographical with notes on life in the Volozhin Yeshiva. Selections of this book were translated and printed as the book “My Uncle the Netziv.” One of the stories in “My Uncle the Netziv” was about the Netziv and relates to our subject. Baron Rothchild had great success in developing the Carmel wineries in Eretz Yisrael. He was able to sponsor the Yishuv in developing these wines in two locations, in Rishon L’Tzion just south of Tel Aviv and in Zichron Yaakov just south of Haifa. The story was told that one of the first bottles produced in the Carmel wineries was sent as a gift to the Netziv in Volozhin. The Netziv at the time was ill and elderly and when he received the gift he said, “Wait one minute.” Slowly and with great effort and difficulty the Rosh Yeshiva went back

into his room and emerged moments later wearing his Shabbat clothing. All of those who had gathered around were stunned by this unexpected behavior of the Netziv. Perhaps some thought he had become senile. But the Netziv, sensing that the people around him were puzzled, looked at them and said softly, “Rabbosai, we are about to partake of the first wine made in Eretz Yisrael in almost 2,000 years. Is this not a time for rejoicing? After all does not the verse say ‘and it shall come to pass on that day that the mountains shall drip with wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the springs of Judah shall flow with water, and a spring shall emanate from the House of the Lord and water in the valley of Shittim’ (Yoel 4:18)? How can I not rejoice and put on Shabbat clothing when I am privileged to see the ‘mountains once again drip with wine’?” To me this was an amazing story because the people around him didn’t get it, and the Netziv did understand the beautiful moment here near the end of his life. What I see is a message for us, who live in a completely different time over a hundred years later, that we can enjoy the products of Israel in our homes and in our synagogue. We have made the effort before, and I think it is time to resume efforts to make sure that Israeli products adorn our regular Shabbat Kiddush as well as our Shabbat tables. I often tell stories about my relationship with Badia, a spice company in Miami. Pepe Badia has a fondness for Israel and Israeli products. I once walked into that facility and was greeted by an Israeli who was there temporarily. His company had sold Badia a high-tech machine. You could pour a couple thousand pounds of ground cinnamon into the machine and it would package it in 2 ounce cellophane bags with perfect calibration, weight control, and humidity control. Mr. Badia prided himself on being able to buy an Israeli machine that fit his needs; and proud of the Israel company sending one of their engineers to train Badia’s mechanics in the maintenance of the machine. Today, if you visit Badia, he will proudly show you three machines of this nature that he has purchased from Israel. My wife’s favorite wine for Kiddush is a Moscato. We have been fans of the Bartenura “blue bottle.” Now it is easy to obtain the Israeli counterpart from Carmel Wines, and there is the Golan Heights Moscato as well. As a result of the story involving the Netziv I am also making the effort from now on to purchase the Israeli version. I have nothing against the Bartenura brand, it is a wonderful product and we like it, but I want to experience the excitement of always having an Israeli product, especially in terms of making Kiddush, etc. on an Israel product. It demonstrates that we are in a time of Jewish history that is spectacular, not just momentous. On a more mundane note, I have made an effort in another way. I am the one in the house who makes cholent, be it the more traditional beef and potato cholent, or my own lighter brand of the chicken/rice cholent. In both, I make sure to use at least one spice that is from Israel. So on many levels, not just culinary, I think that my cholent is the best because it incorporates some of the aroma and taste of Shabbat, and Eretz Yisrael. It doesn’t get better than that!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE ..… and for us Non-Heroes Final preparations are underway for the Journal Celebration and the impact has been profound. We have already heard some incredible accounts from our honorees, perfectly setting the stage for what is sure to be a memorable evening. To listen to my friends and neighbors speak about their service and personal sacrifices and what it means to them, has truly been humbling. Never again will I take for granted that our Founding Fathers and Mothers had a vision of freedom, which is upheld with honesty and morality, but just as importantly by the blood, sweat and tears of our military.

Our Honorees, over 60 of them at last count, have served with distinction and made an impact on our lives, our countries and world. If it sounds like I’m putting them on a pedestal – it's because I am! I’m truly in awe of their commitment and wonder how we've had the audacity to let them take all of the risks. We may not be cut from the same cloth but we can be inspired by them. We may not be brave enough to jump out of a perfectly good airplane or hunt down terrorists, but we can lobby, we can defend and we sure as hell can support our troops on both sides of the Atlantic. There are so many ways for evil to creep into our lives, and there are just as many ways to protect ourselves. We must take up arms, figuratively if not literally. Here are some ideas of things you can do to get involved and show your support. Make a difference by supporting AIPAC. Join me at the Policy Conference in Washington, March 20-22. Be a part of shaping how the U.S. Government determines its policies towards Israel. Help our leaders understand the importance of our tested but unbreakable alliance. Make a difference by being prepared to help in the case of Emergency. Attend our Emergency Volunteers Project (EVP) Training sessions. An introductory session will take place in shul on March 8th. Participating in this program will teach you Basic Search and Rescue, First Aid, CPR and become FEMA certified. In addition you’ll be prepared to work side by side with First Responders providing crucial non-military support on the ground State-side and in Israel. Make a difference here at the shul by joining our Shmira team, which is now 100 members strong. Screening out unwanted or dangerous individuals before they enter our building is our first line of defense. Make a difference: Join our Social Action team and educate yourselves to current pressing issues. Stand up against BDS and other anti-Israel rhetoric and baseless hatred. Register to vote, and then do vote! Make the most of the democracy in which you live. Make a difference: Support our troops here and abroad. There are many organizations that provide for our U.S. and Israeli Forces. Choose one and donate. If you can’t afford it, write a soldier a letter and show them just what and who they are defending. To conclude, we owe a debt of gratitude to our Military Servicemen and Servicewomen. The rest of us can safely pick up where they left off. Thank you to everyone who makes this world a safer place.

Maish Staiman, President

SISTERHOOD MESSAGE

As Purim approaches, so too does our biggest fundraiser of the year – Mishloach Manot. Let’s take a minute, then, to look at the significance of the mitzvah and why it came to be. Mordechai and Esther inaugurated Mishloach Manot as part of the Purim celebration. What do Mishloach Manot have to do with Purim, though? To answer this, one needs to look at the reason behind Purim, the fact that we need to recognize Hashem’s hand in everyday events. But then, how does the sending of food to one’s acquaintance come into play? In A Short Vort written by D. Fine, we are told that the answer can be found “via a note that was hung on the door to the Beis HaMedrash in Kelm during the month of Elul each year. The note reminded everyone to be extra careful to create unity and foster good relations with others during the month leading up to Rosh Hashanah.” In order to crown Hashem as King, there must be unity amongst His subjects. The same can be said of Purim. Purim is all about recognizing Hashem’s presence in our lives but in order to do this fully, everybody must recognize this together. Just as we experienced the miracle of Purim together as a community so many years ago, so too do we send food to each other to foster the unity that enables this communal acknowledgment and appreciation. Moreover, Haman claimed that the Jewish People were ‘a nation scattered among the nations…and they do not follow the religion/laws of the King, and it’s not worth it for the King to keep them alive.’ (Megillat Esther 3:8) Chazal say that ‘the King’ Haman refers to is not Achashveirosh, but Hashem. (How insane that even Haman, in all his wickedness, realized that the Jewish people had no unity and were not following Hashem’s path!) On Purim, through a variety of mitzvot, and particularly through Mishloach Manot, we must make sure to instill Hashem’s presence and constant involvement in the world within ourselves and work on fostering our sense of unity and community – negating both of Haman’s claims. Purim Sameach! PLEASE CONTACT US TO HELP PACK AND DELIVER SISTERHOOD MISHLOACH MANOT Upcoming Sisterhood Events: March 2 Sisterhood General Meeting: meet Sisterhood board members, learn about how Sisterhood operates, hear about upcoming events and fundraisers and volunteer to get involved in this amazing community.

FACTS I DISCOVERED WHILE LOOKING UP OTHER THINGS

FEED THE BIRDS… There is an Ashkenazic custom to feed the birds on Shabbat Shira. The Magen Avraham (OC 324:11) comments that this is incorrect because we are not responsible for their sustenance. The most popular reason for this custom is based on a story that Datan and Aviram went out on Friday night outside the Camp and spread some Mannah so that they could prove Moshe a liar when Moshe told the people that Hashem will not send Mannah on Shabbat. Some people went out on Shabbat, but the birds had eaten what Datan and Aviram put out. Hence we reward the birds on the Shabbat when we read about the Mannah. Considering the Magen Avraham’s objection, we can put crumbs out for the birds before Shabbat, or, as Rav Neuwirth suggested, shake out the tablecloth (if there is an Eruv) and thereby “feed” the birds. FEED THE BIRDS (PART 2)… “Feed the Birds” is the title of a sad song from Mary Poppins (1964), which was Walt Disney’s favorite song (it made him cry). That song, and all the music of Mary Poppins, was written by the Sherman brothers, Robert M. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman. The brothers were born to Russian Jewish immigrants in New York City in the 1920’s. Their first hit was “Tall Paul” sung by Mouseketeer Annette Funicello; and it got Walt Disney’s attention. In 1965, they won Oscars for Best Score (Mary Poppins) and for Best Original Song for Chim Chim Cheree. The list of honors and musical accomplishments is lengthy. Their most successful song is: “It’s a Small World (After All),” originally for the 1964 World’s Fair. “The Best Time of Your Life” for the Carousel of Progress was also their work. On the Hit Parade, they wrote “You’re Sixteen” recorded originally by Johnny Burnette in 1960 and then again by Ringo Starr in 1974. CRUCIFIXION… Many Jews suffered this fate at the hands of the Romans. The bones of a crucified Jew was found in a tomb in north Jerusalem with a 4½ inch nail still sticking through a skeletal ankle. Nails from crucifixion victims were worn by Jews and Gentiles to ward off illness. Victims were usually crucified naked – with men facing outward, women inward. In 74 BCE, the young Julius Caesar was captured by pirates. After he was ransomed and released, he returned to arrest and crucify them. He did so as humanely as possible; he graciously slit their throats before crucifixion. This tortuous method of execution originated in the east: Darius the Great crucified Babylonian rebels; and this practice was adopted by the Greeks. Alexander the Great crucified the Tyrians. Antiochus Epiphanes and the Jewish king Alexander Janneus crucified rebellious Jerusalemites. In Jerusalem, the wood for the cross is said to have come from the site of the fortified 11th century Monastery of the Cross, near today’s Israeli Knesset. THE YESHIVAS IN FRANCE… Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo ben Yitzchak, 1040-1105) founded his own school in France in about 1070 and attracted many disciples. He primarily depended upon his vineyards and the manufacture of wine for financial support. Rashi’s grandson, Rabbi Shmuel ben Meir, the Rashbam, learned with him until Rashi died; the Rashbam was in his early twenties when his grandfather died. The Rashbam became a very wealthy man, making his money in the sheep and goat business. The Rashbam started his own Yeshiva and supported it completely from his own resources. In those days the Yeshivas did not depend on public

collections. The Rashbam’s younger brother, Rabbeinu Tam (Yakov ben Meir) was the most gifted of Rashi’s grandchildren. He was also wealthy, with vast holdings of land and vineyards; and he was in the money-lending business. He started a Yeshiva and financed it with his personal funds. The Maharam (Rabbi Meir of Rotenberg, 1215-1293, Germany) was one of the last of the Tosafists. He started his Yeshiva with his own funds as well. He probably was rich, for, according to his own account, he had in his house in Rotenberg separate apartments for winter and summer, with an airy dining room, and separate rooms for each of his students. No Meshulachim. [RED’s added prayer: … Renew our days as of old.] SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE (1784-1885), British financier, banker, activist, philanthropist, and even a short stint as Sheriff of London. In 1812, Montefiore married Judith Cohen (1784-1862). Her sister Hannah married Nathan Mayer Rothschild, for whom Montefiore’s firm acted as stockbrokers. The two brothers-in-law became business partners. Montefiore retired from business in 1824 (at 40 years of age). For the last 60 years of his life he devoted himself to philanthropy and good deeds. He was not religiously observant in his early life. After his first of seven visits to Israel in 1827, he became strictly observant. He even traveled with his own personal shochet to ensure a ready supply of kosher meat. Following this shift he exerted a strong influence in limiting the growth of the Reform Jewish movement in England. (Ironically there is a Temple Moses Montefiore in Marshall, Texas – the first Reform temple in East Texas.) In 1873, at the age of 89, a local newspaper ran his obituary. He wrote to the editor that he was able to read his obituary, “without using spectacles.” In 1854, his friend Judah Touro (in New Orleans) died and left money to fund Jewish residential settlement in Palestine. Montefiore was appointed executor of his will and used the money well. He had no children; his principal heir was a nephew, Joseph Sebag Montefiore. L.L. ZAMENHOF… Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof (1859-1917) was a Jewish Polish physician, inventor, and writer, most famous for creating Esperanto, his “international language.” He felt that wars and hatred could be eliminated with an international language. He invented the language when he was a teenager and truly believed that it could help create peace among people. [Hitler mentions Esperanto in Mein Kampf and wrote that the language was evidence that Jews desired to take over the world. The Nazis persecuted anyone using or teaching the language.] He grew up speaking Yiddish and Russian. His father taught German and French. He learned these languages as well as Hebrew and Polish. He also studied Latin, Greek, and Aramaic – and later English. When he published his book on international language in 1887, he used the pseudonym Doctor Esperanto (Doctor Hopeful) and that name soon became the official name for the language. Zamenhof later translated the Hebrew Bible into Esperanto. He also published a religious philosophy based on the teachings of Hillel the Elder. He and his wife raised three children who all died in the Holocaust. His daughter Lidia traveled through Europe and America to teach the language (she converted to be a member of the Bahai faith). Zamenhof was not religiously observant. (I visited his grave in Warsaw when on the March of the Living in 1996.)

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q: May one fast on Shabbat? A: The basic answer is that one is not allowed to fast on Shabbat or Yom Tov. In fact it is written that one should eat

before midday on Shabbat. Even if one is davening and learning all Shabbat morning, he should make sure to eat something prior to midday. For this reason, when I came to Hollywood, I created a time schedule for Rosh HaShanah to make sure that davening in the morning ends before midday. In some Yeshivas, they would make Kiddush and eat something prior to Mussaf in order to avoid this issue.

Nevertheless it is reported that Rabbi Yehudah HaChasid (Germany, 1150-1217) did fast on Shabbat because he felt that fasting (for him) was “enjoyment.”

If eating causes a person discomfort or a health issue, he is exempt from the obligation to eat on Shabbat. Fasting for diet reasons is not permitted on Shabbat. Q: The last line of the first two paragraphs of the Shema is the same. On occasion I have said this line and could not

remember if I was finishing the first paragraph or the second paragraph. What should I have done? A: In the past, I have answered to assume the worst scenario, and believe that you just finished the first paragraph. I

figured that it is better that you could be saying a paragraph twice than omitting a paragraph. Recently I read in the name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach that if you do not know which paragraph you just read, then you were not concentrating when you were saying the Shema at all; and you should start the Shema again from the beginning. I now favor his opinion!

Q: There is a golf course within the boundaries of our Eruv. Is it permissible to play golf there on Shabbat? A: No. Even though there are concerns of violating Shabbat law of pulling up the grass when you swing and other such

issues, I see an equally strong concern. Our Sages felt that there is the spiritual value of Shabbat (and Holidays) that needs preserving. The day of rest was given to us for deepening our Emunah, our faith in Hashem, through Torah learning and the like.

When the Eruv was initially started in Hollywood, parents complained to me that their children were planning to take their balls, bats, and gloves and organize a Shabbat baseball game at the school on Stirling Road. Immediately after lunch, I walked over there. I gathered all the kids together and asked them how they were planning to make Shabbat different from Sunday. They agreed and went home. The challenge of making Shabbat is still an existing one.

Q: How does one kasher liver? A: Designate the needed utensils because they will become treif in the process. The liver must be defrosted if frozen. The liver should not sit in its own “juices” for a 24-hour period. If kashering beef

or calf liver, it should either be slit in a crisscross manner, or cut into strips. Chicken liver does not need to be slit. The liver should be rinsed. The liver should be salted with koshering salt just before broiling (enough salt that it would taste good).

The set up of keilim (vessels): A dedicated rack, broiler pan, fork and any other keilim used for kashering is required. If the liver will be kashered in

an oven, there must be a drip pan under the rack. The liver needs to be raised from the drip pan so that it will not be sitting in the blood that comes out.

The process of kashering: If it is beef liver, the cut side should be face-down. It is customary to turn the liver over several times. The liver

should be broiled or grilled until it is 2/3 done. (An indication that it is done is when it is completely dry on the outside.)

After broiling or grilling: The liver should be rinsed 3 times. It if was defrosted for more than 72 hours, it should only be eaten broiled – not

sautéed or further cooked. Q: Do we need a Minyan to have a wedding ceremony? A: The Minyan is required for the Sheva Berachot to be recited. But no Minyan is needed to get married. The marriage

is created by the groom giving the bride a ring in front of two kosher witnesses. And a Ketubah is then presented. The role of the rabbi is to make sure the above ceremony is done properly, according to Halachic guidelines.

YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE MARCH 2016 PAGE 20

PURIM LAWS & CUSTOMS

SHABBAT ZACHOR 1. On the Shabbat before Purim, (March 19th) a Second

Torah scroll is taken out and Deuteronomy 25:17-19 is read. The Torah commands us to remember Amalek who attacked Israel immediately after the exodus from Egypt. Since Haman was a descendent of Amalek, the portion is read right before Purim.

2. A second reading of Zachor will take place in the Sanctuary right after the 9:00 a.m. Minyan.

3. All males and females are required to listen to this special reading.

FAST OF ESTHER

Taanit Esther (Fast of Esther) is observed on Wednesday, March 23rd from daybreak (6:10 a.m.) until dark (8:12 p.m.)

GIVING OF THE HALF SHEKEL 1. Our custom is to give three coins to charity before the

Minchah service on the Fast of Esther. These coins should be the half-denomination in the country in which they are given. The coins need not be silver.

2. Since the observance of the Fast of Esther is Wednesday, March 23rd, plates will be out Wednesday evening at Minchah for the giving of these coins. Plates will also be out on Thursday morning, Purim Day, for this mitzvah, if not observed earlier.

3. Our custom is to obligate all males above bar mitzvah in the giving of these coins.

4. Women are exempt from this practice. 5. One may not use funds previously allocated for charity

for these coins.

PURIM 1. One should wear Shabbat clothes on Purim. 2. A man should not masquerade as a woman on Purim

or vice versa. 3. Any unnecessary involved work is prohibited on Purim

except: a) Writing is permitted. b) Conducting business is allowed. 4. One is allowed to partake of intoxicating beverages for

the purpose of merry-making on Purim, but only till the point before which he is unable to differentiate between cursing Haman and blessing Mordechai. Becoming drunk is not a mitzvah and is to be avoided.

5. We recite Al HaNissim on Purim in the Shemoneh Esrei and in Birkat HaMazon. If forgotten, one need not repeat.

There are four laws incumbent upon all Jews on Purim: 1. THE MEGILLAH READING 2. MISHLOACH MANOT (the sending of food parcels) 3. MATANOT LA'EVYONIM (gifts to the poor) 4. SEUDAT PURIM (the Purim feast)

THE MEGILLAH READING 1. Both men and women are required to hear the Megillah

read both at night and during the day. 2. At night, the Megillah reading may start only after

nightfall (this year, after 8:12 p.m. on March 23rd). In shul, we begin Maariv at 7:40 p.m. with Megillah reading beginning promptly at 8:12 p.m. in the Social Hall (no groggers). (Family reading 8:12 p.m. in the Sanctuary with groggers.) During the day, the Megillah may be read after sunrise.

3. One must listen attentively to every word being read in order to fulfill the mitzvah. Talking is prohibited during the Megillah reading.

4. The following four verses are read aloud by the congregation before the reader: Chapter 2:5, 8:15, 8:16, 10:3.

5. The names of the Ten Sons of Haman should be read in one breath. If this was not done, the mitzvah is still fulfilled.

6. A microphone should not be used for the Megillah reading.

7. The Megillah should be completely spread out and folded before the blessings are recited.

8. Three blessings are recited before the reading: a) b) c) The Shehecheyanu blessing is recited for the daytime

reading, keeping in mind that it refers to the other mitzvot of the day as well.

MISHLOACH MANOT 1. The mitzvah to send Mishloach Manot on Purim day is

incumbent on every male and female. 2. Preferably the mitzvah should be performed after

hearing the Megillah reading on Purim day. 3. This mitzvah is performed by sending at least two

major different types of food to one person. 4. The food sent should be ready for consumption upon

arrival. Canned foods are acceptable. Different cuts of meat are considered separate food types, as are wines of different colors.

5. One may not fulfill this mitzvah by sending tobacco products, clothes, seforim, money, or foods needing to be cooked.

6. Mishloach Manot should be sent to someone with whom one has a previous friendship. It is permissible to send to one's teacher, student, father, son, brother, or of course, one's rabbi.

7. One fulfills the mitzvah even if the recipient is sick and unable to eat the food.

8. The recipient must be aware of the identity of the sender.

9. It is traditional to send Mishloach Manot through a messenger, but this is not required.

10. One should not send Mishloach Manot to a mourner, and the mourner should send only to one person.

YOUNG ISRAEL OF HOLLYWOOD-FT. LAUDERDALE MARCH 2016 PAGE 21

PURIM LAWS & CUSTOMS continued…

MATANOT LA'EVYANIM

1. Every male and female must give food or money to the poor on Purim day.

2. The requirement is to give to at least two poor people (men or women) enough food or the equivalent in money for a minimal Purim meal.

3. This mitzvah should preferably be performed after the Megillah reading on Purim day.

4. A poor person is also required to fulfill this mitzvah. 5. Canceling a debt is not a fulfillment of this mitzvah. 6. One may appoint a messenger before Purim to give

the money or food on the day of Purim. The Rabbi will gladly assist you in the performance of this mitzvah.

7. It is not necessary that the poor know the identity of the donor.

8. If there are no poor people available on Purim, one should set aside the money to be given at a later date.

9. Rabbi Davis visits poor people on Purim day and will be your messenger in the performance of this mitzvah, if you wish.

SEUDAT PURIM

1. Most of the Purim festival meal should take place during the day, preferably after Minchah.

2. Candles should be lit during the meal, without a brachah.

3. It is preferable not to eat this meal alone. 4. Bread and meat should be eaten. A sandwich does

not a seudah make.

SHUSHAN PURIM

1. The day after Purim is Shushan Purim when a special meal should be encouraged.

2. Al HaNissim is not said.

LAWS OF PURIM AND MOURNING

The mourner is required to hear the Megillah just like everyone else. The mourner is required to send Shalach Manot to only one person, but no one should send Shalach Manot to a mourner. (In general, a mourner should not send to nor receive a gift from anyone during his year of mourning. The mourner's spouse may receive and send Shalach Manot on Purim). The mourner is required to give money to the poor on Purim. If the mourner himself is poor, then he may receive tzedakah funds on Purim or any time of the year. The mourner should have the Purim Seudah. He should eat the festive meal with only his family and not participate in any masquerade. (In general, the mourner is permitted to attend a kiddush after services provided a full meal is not served. He is permitted to drink a L'Chaim with friends, attend a graduation, or an engagement reception with no meal or music. The prohibition centers around the presence of music or a festive dinner).
