RABBI’S MESSAGE WHO WOULD YOU VOTE FOR?
The Super Bowl is an exciting event in the life of American sports enthusiasts. There is a lot of money that is generated through the happening of the year in sports. The Super Bowl occurs every year. An Israeli election occurs every other year. It is not supposed to be that way. When the Israelis vote for the Knesset, and the coalition government is formed because no single party gets a majority of the vote, that Knesset is supposed to last four years. That is the term that they are voted in for. The average life span of a Knesset is 25 months. So the Super Bowl occurs every year; an Israeli election occurs about every 2 years. And the activities are quite similar. Each side is trying to defeat the other and it becomes very physical and quite violent. With the Israeli election the violence is mostly rhetorical but it is pretty vicious. In the last election there were 33 registered Israeli political parties. Of the 33, 13 received enough votes to seat members in the Knesset. There are 120 seats in the Knesset and the coalition is usually formed from a variety of parties. By definition each government is vulnerable because of the situation of a coalition. There are other laws involved. For example a couple of years ago the Knesset could not reach a consensus on a budget, and when they cannot do that the government is automatically dissolved, and they have to go for new elections. The one party that I personally like is the reincarnation of the National Religious Party in HaBayit HaYehudi. The head of this party is Naftali Bennett who is a charismatic, high-tech millionaire. The party is essentially modern Orthodox and pro-settlement. They oppose concessions to the Palestinians and are in favor of annexing Judea and Samaria. They also are interesting in opposing the Charedi draft exemptions. I realize that all of this is difficult for any left-wing liberal person to embrace, but I can have my preferences too. By definition it is a religious party, but yet what has helped them in the polls is the fact that they now have secular members of the party who have embraced their platform. This raises their appeal. Every coalition has to contend with the ultra-Orthodox parties, which have dwindled over the last several years, but nevertheless are essential when trying to form a coalition which has to deal with smaller parties. They were not included in the last coalition but they still have a role to play. The Charedi ultra-Orthodox is an interesting element in Israeli society in general. They are an isolationist group. Their involvement in industry or the army is a mere trickle. They are interested in proliferating and learning Torah. Just understand what the dynamics
are all about – 25% of all first graders in the entire country of Israel are Charedi. It is a fast-growing sector in the population and extremely isolationist. The Sephardic rabbinic leaders imitate the Ashkenazic rabbis in the garb that they have embraced, the black hat and long coats of Poland, but they are also embracing the isolationism as well. There is a certain disdain for secular education. Isi Leibler is a columnist in the Jerusalem Post who is originally from Australia. He is an interesting fellow even if I can’t agree with a lot that he writes, but he had a good line when he wrote recently that “the Rambam would not qualify to teach in their schools (of the Charedi)”. Winners or losers will have a lot to say regardless, even though they strain my patience, which is normal. The divide, by the way, between religious and non-religious is getting worse for the most part, even though there are some very good groups that try to improve that relationship. I remember several years ago when I was visiting Israel and I went to the Biblical Zoo with family. Part of the zoo experience in Eretz Yisrael is watching the animals and the humans. There was an Israeli secular class with their teachers when I was there, and right in front of that group was a Charedi group of cheder children with their young rebbes. The Charedi group spoke only Yiddish, and the Israeli kids didn’t comprehend one word. In fact they were asking their teachers, “What language are they speaking?” They have no knowledge and no relationship one to the other. It is an interesting sociological phenomenon that exists when we compare what the differences are between these groups. The Israeli children didn’t listen to a word their teachers and chaperones were telling them. They were undisciplined and unruly. The Charedi children were very respectful and listened to everything their rebbes were saying to them, but at the same time there was a lack of respect for property and the surroundings. Neither group was able to demonstrate a proper sense of responsibility. Maybe I was more attentive to watching these “animals” at the zoo instead of the animals that walk on four legs. Nevertheless it is easy to see a tremendous divide that exists in Israeli society. Israel truly is a miracle in our time. Back to the beginning: I find the Super Bowl, and Israeli elections and society, very entertaining. The only difference between them is that the Super Bowl has better commercials.

Mitzvah Monitor Living in the Land of Israel
Rabbi Yosef Weinstock
There is a firmly held tradition that the Torah contains 613 mitzvot. This is so, even though there are many more than 613 times in the Torah where Hashem commands Moshe or Bnai Yisrael. The basis of this tradition is the verse: “Torah Tzivah lanu Moshe” The numerical value of the word “Torah” is 611. Moshe tauht the Jewish People 611 commandments at Sinai. And there is a tradition that God directly taught the first two of the 10 Commandments to the people. Throughout history, one discipline of Judaic scholarship was to enumerate and identify the 613 mitzvot. There is broad consensus among those who enumerate mitzvot in terms of “which commandments make the list.” An area of advanced scholarship focuses on those few mitzvot where there is some disagreement as to whether they make the count. One such mitzvah is the commandment to live in Israel. Maimonides did not include settling in the Land of Israel in his count of the 613 Mitzvot. The Ramban, Nachmanides, disagreed and felt that the Rambam should have included living in Israel in his count of 613 Mitzvot. As he writes, “We were commanded to take possession of the land that God gave to our ancestors, and not leave it in the hands of other nations or in desolation.” Since the times of the Rambam and Ramban, scholars have grappled with Maimonides omission, and they have resolved the issue in a wide variety of ways. On one side, there are those who justify Rambam’s omission by suggesting that subsequent to the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash and the dispersal of the Jewish People across the globe, there will be no specific mitzvah to live in Israel until the arrival of Moshiach. Since the commandment is not eternally relevant, the Rambam chooses not to count it among the 613 mitzvot. Others justify the Rambam’s omission from the opposite perspective: that it’s a mitzvah that does not need to be independently enumerated. Rabbi Avraham Borenstein (author of Avnei Nezer) suggests that living in Israel is counted by the Rambam as a mitzvah, but it is included in the commandment of battling the 7 Canaanite nations and dispossessing them from the Land of Israel. Obviously the purpose of kicking out the Canaanite nations is for the Jews to move in and cultivate the Promised Land. Rabbi Yona Dov Blumberg, author of Eim Habanim Semeicha, writes that the Rambam does not count living in Israel as a mitzvah because it includes many other mitzvoth dependent on the Land of Israel. The Land of Israel is fundamental to the torah and Am Yisrael that to count it as a mitzvah would be belittling to its true importance. This approach is in line with one of Maimonides’ principles: he does not count general commandments, such as “Keep My Statutes” (Vayikra 19:19). Whether or not living in Israel is among the 613 Mitzvot, it is evident that Israel is a focal point for the Jewish People and our aspirations. It is the direction towards which we pray. It is mentioned dozens of times in our tefilot and hundreds of times in Tanach. The opportunities to connect with Eretz Yisrael have greatly increased over the past six decades, as we have been blessed to live in a world that includes the Jewish State of Medinat Yisrael. Every Jew today should think about the place that Israel plays in our lives and ways we can connect with our homeland. Making Israel our home through Aliyah is something that each of us should consider. Based on the Talmudic passage that every four cubits walked in Israel is a mitzvah, some have suggested that visiting Israel is a partial fulfillment of this mitzvah. When planning a vacation, this year or years in advance, Israel should be a destination we consider for ourselves and our families. Here are some ways American Jews can be “Armchair Zionists”: strengthen The State of Israel, as well as our connection to her, from our computers:
1) Vote for the Religious Zionist Slate in the World Zionist Congress elections. Go to www.votetorah.org for more information. I am proud to be a member of the Religious Zionist slate of candidates.
2) Buy Israel Bonds: Buying Israel Bonds has never been easier, with their online system. Go to https://online.israelbonds.com to get set up.
3) Sign Up for Action Alerts from AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee). As American Zionists we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to help Israel by promoting and strengthening the US – Israel relationship. We have the ability to be citizen lobbyists and contact our elected officials to urge them to support legislation that helps Israel. AIPAC helps us do this by informing us about the issues and making it easy to contact our elected officials. Go to http://www.aipac.org/learn/legislative-agenda to learn more.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Torah Through Technology The two words of "Torah" and "Technology" certainly could not have been mentioned in the same sentence just 100 years ago. Maybe not even 50. Maybe not even 25 when the internet and PCs were exploding. Today Torah technology is everywhere! I am still amazed at all of the new places I find the junction of Torah and technology. Rabbi Davis and Rabbi Weinstock are posting their Adult Ed shiurim on SoundCloud, with links from our website hosted by ShulCloud. On a recent flight back from Israel on El Al, I chose from movies, music, and Daf Yomi shiurim from the recent Mesechta Yevamot. Each morning my Chrome browser opens a tab to the Virtual Beit Midrash with a daily D'var Torah to start my day. My Twitter feed includes daily Daf Yomi insights from Dr. Erica Brown. Rav Moshe Taragin of Yeshivat Har Etzion is my Facebook friend. He posts 4-5 shiurim a week which I download and listen through YU Torah during drives or downtime. Recently I learned of an Israeli technology project called 929 (the chapters in Tanach) bringing a Nach Yomi in Hebrew to unite Jews across the religious spectrum. Amazing! Rabbi Gil Student in the current Jewish Action magazine lists one of my favorite Top Ten lists. These are portals that scratch the surface of the incredible wealth of Torah on the web. Here they are, the Top Ten websites for On Line Torah Learning: https://www.ou.org/jewish_action/12/2014/top-ten-online-torah-resources/ While all of these Torah Technology choices are great, nothing beats the "low tech" options of live Havruta or Shiurim that are offered in our community. YI Adult Ed, PATH, and the Hollywood Kollel provide regular opportunities on all subjects and levels. This "season" along with snowbirds to Florida, we have an incredible array of Torah talents. The Scholar in Residence program brings world class insights from across the US and Israel to Young Israel of Hollywood. Weekdays, evenings and Shabbat the Young Israel of Hollywood is a thriving center for Torah. Whatever your choice of Torah and Technology, find something today that works with your interests, your schedule and your tech comfort level. Yourself, your family, your friends and your community will be enriched.

SISTERHOOD MESSAGE “Mi Shenichnas Adar Marbim B’Simcha!” Adar starts this month on the Jewish calendar. While there are many joyous dates on the Jewish calendar, aside from Purim, none of them affect the entire month. Perhaps the unique nature of Purim will allow us to understand why its joy extends throughout the entire month of Adar. One must begin by looking back at the history of the Jews before this time. After nearly a millennium of freedom, independence, and constant reliance on miracles, the Jews were now banished from their land, helpless, and seemingly at the mercy of the laws of nature. The Beit HaMikdash, where G-d's presence was obvious, a symbol of the special relationship He shared with His nation, lay in ruins. Even the 70 years, prophesized by Jeremiah as the date when the Beit HaMikdash would be rebuilt, had passed uneventfully, or so they had thought based on erroneous calculations. Haman needed one more sign indicating the Jews' helplessness. For him, the lottery would have the final say. The lottery designated Adar to be the month when his plan would be put into motion. The Talmud tells us that Haman was overjoyed by this favorable omen. "My lottery fell on the month when Moses died," he exclaimed. The demise of Moses, the "leader" of the Jewish nation, was surely a metaphor for the demise of the entire nation! All other holidays celebrate the "highs" of our nation; their joy is limited, because highs don't last. Purim celebrates a time when we were at a low point in our history – but our relationship with G-d remained intact. Its joy is therefore greater than the joy of any other holiday, because it demonstrates the essential nature of our relationship with G-d -- and that is a constant. The month of Adar, the month which Haman understood to be the most inauspicious month for the Jews, is now the happiest month of our year—the month when we keep in mind that "inauspicious" has absolutely no bearing on our relationship with G-d. There are so many fun and exciting things being planned by Sisterhood this month. Panoply promises to be an amazing event, as in years past. Please make sure to register as soon as possible! Our Mishloach Manot planning is well under way and we are so excited to celebrate a Chag Sameach with you in early March!

FACTS I DISCOVERED WHILE LOOKING UP OTHER THINGS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN THE SYNAGOGE… The Chattam Sofer in his Responsa literature wrote that it is prohibited to play an organ in a synagogue, even during the weekday. The problem is following in the statutes of the non-Jewish people. Organs had become quite common in the churches for centuries. Yet our ancestors tell us that in ancient times there was an organ in the “Alt’nai” synagogue in Prague. It was also common in Prague and in Berlin to have musical instruments playing in the synagogue for Kabbalat Shabbat, but the instruments were put away prior to the Tehillim accepting Shabbat after Lecha Dodi. The historians tell us that the Alt’nai synagogue is one of the oldest outside of Israel and possibly existed during the times of the Second Temple. When they established the synagogue they had musical instruments, including an organ, at a time that predates the Christians having organs in their churches. Hence for them it was permitted, while any synagogue erected after that found it to be a strict prohibition to not have organ music. Nevertheless there were musical instruments used in various German synagogues, as evidenced by the Responsa of Rabbi David Tzvi Hoffman of early 20th century Germany.
EXPERIMENT BY NINTH GRADERS FROM BAT YAM, ISRAEL GOES TO OUTER SPACE… The Jerusalem Post reported (12/8/14) that the International Space Station conducted an experiment devised by four 9th graders at the Darca New High School in Bat Yam. The 14 year old students, all girls, wanted to know how low gravity conditions in space influenced the development of brine shrimp eggs, compared to the influence of the Earth’s environment. This experiment was chosen by the American scientists and went with U.S. astronauts serving on the Space Station. The same experiment was conducted by the girls in their school so that a contrast could be shown. In mid-December the experiment returned to Earth and was returned to the girls in Bat Yam. The results were that the eggs developed and multiplied slower under low gravity conditions in outer space than on land. The experiment received the attention of NASA and was applauded by many others. Kudos to the four girls and their teacher, and to the State of Israel.
SHEMITTAH IN ROMAN PALESTINE… The Romans destroyed the Holy Temple in the year 70 C.E.; Hadrian put down the Bar Kochba rebellion in 132 C.E.; relentless persecution continued afterwards. By the end of the second century the head of the Jewish community was Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi, head of the Sanhedrin for some 50 years, who redacted the Mishnah. His relations with Romans (maybe even with Emperor Marcus Aurelius) is renowned. Jews in Eretz Yisrael were heavily taxed. Rabbi Yehudah saw difficulties in observing Shemittah. The Roman tax collector would come each year, including the Shemittah year, and expected regular tax regardless of whether the Jews had a harvest or not. The idea of the Shemittah was unheard of and not acceptable to the Romans. Rabbi Yehudah sought relief from the taxes and tried to ease some of the restrictions in agriculture during Shemittah. To my knowledge he was not very successful with either endeavor.
THE CROCK POT… 75 years ago Irving Nachumsohn invented what was to be called later the Crock Pot. When he invented it he used the name Naxon in business and he called the Crock Pot the Naxon Beanery. When he retired in 1971 he sold his
business to Rival Manufacturing. They streamlined the design, renamed it the Crock Pot, and the rest became history. What was his inspiration for this invention? His mother, Tamara Kaslovski Nachumsohn, grew up in a small shtetl in Lithuania. She told her son when he was young that every Friday afternoon her mother would send her to a local bakery with their pot of prepared, but yet uncooked, cholent. There it would be put into the oven for a full day while the family observed Shabbat. On Shabbat midday they would collect their pot from the bakery and enjoy the cholent on Shabbat. Mr. Nachumsohn/ Naxon remembered the story and was inspired to find a way to create the heating element that surrounded the pot the same way that an oven would have. He wanted to find a low cost, low electricity solution and that is the story. Mr. Naxon/ Nachumsohn had over 200 patents in his name and certainly deserves credit for what many of us take for granted. The world uses a Crock Pot but its origins are with cholent. MEYER LANSKY’S BEGINNINGS… In the Lower East Side in New York when Meyer Lansky was a little boy his mother gave him an uncooked pot of cholent, plus a nickel to go to the local bakery and place it in the oven. On the way to the bakery the young Meyer passed an alley where they were gambling and it enticed the young man. The boy went in, gambled with his mother’s nickel and began his career in a different industry. Don’t ask me what happened to the cholent, I don’t know. The source of the story is the synagogue in Miami Beach which houses the Jewish Museum. One of the stained glass windows there was donated by Meyer Lanksy and family and the story of his beginnings is displayed in Miami Beach. THE FRENCH JEWISH COMMUNITY… The Muslim population in France is estimated at 5 million, accounting for 12% of the country’s total population. It is the largest Muslim population in Europe, and it is also the most problematic. The Jewish population in France today is estimated at 480,000. It is the world’s second largest population of Jews outside of Israel, after America. The anti-Semitism in France is rising and quite dangerous in the sense of analyzing its source, which is the Islamism practiced by many of France’s Muslims. The terrorist activity last month is only one incident in a series of many, starting in 2006 with the murder of Halimi, with thousands of attacks of French Jews and Jewish sites since then. These range from muggings to fire bombings to the desecration of Jewish graves to murder. In March 2012 a French citizen of Algerian descent shot and killed Rabbi Jonathan Sandler and his two children, as well as another child, at the Ozar HaTorah School in Toulouse. This shooting led to further attacks. In August 2012 a French Islamist threw a grenade into a kosher market in Sarcelles. These attacks by Muslims on French Jews increased more significantly in the summer of 2014. On July 13 dozens of North African immigrants stormed Paris’s Don Isaac Abravanel Synagogue chanting Allahu Akbar, and Death to the Jews. What we saw happening this past month in a kosher grocery store is just another event in the chain of events. The world reaction though was because of the attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine. (As a result of current events an Israeli has introduced into the market a hairpiece that can be clipped on to a man’s head to look like his own hair as a substitute for a yarmulke, and thereby not appear Jewish when walking the streets of France. See the Q&A in this bulletin for discussion on this hairpiece as a yarmulke.)

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q: Is it proper for a woman to bensch Gomel, making a blessing to Hashem for a recovery, after giving birth? A: In truth, giving birth is a death-threatening ordeal and is very dangerous, even though we have come to believe that it
is quite natural and ordinary for a woman to give birth and recover fully. Nevertheless Poskim would agree that once recovered a woman should make the brachah of HaGomel just like any other sick person who has recovered. Just as in every situation of making this brachah, it should be in the presence of a minyan. The Magen Avraham mentions that it is more optional in this type of a situation. I believe that even in modern situations we have come across women who have died in childbirth and we should advocate that women should make the brachah. The question is how it is done. In our synagogue a woman would come to the shul, say for Shabbat morning, and after davening when the people are emptying into the Kiddush I will hold a minyan back near my seat so we can hear the woman make the brachah and respond appropriately to her brachah. The question is when she should do it and that really depends on the woman in terms of how quickly she feels recovered from the experience. I would certainly not do it before a week has gone by, and probably before a month. But it is really dependent on her condition and she should be the judge as to when she feels up to making this brachah.
Q: After the terrorist attack in Paris, an Israeli invented a kippah made out of human hair. The kippah is stuck onto one’s
existing hair in order to hide one’s Jewish religious identity. The head is covered. Is this permissible? A: Decades ago we had a member in our shul who was severely hair challenged in the front of his head, and wore a
toupee to work during the week. On Shabbat he did not wear the toupee and wore a regular kippah. He never asked me whether this was permissible as this situation existed before I arrived on the scene. I personally felt it was permitted, especially because he felt that he did not want to advertise his Jewish identity in a possibly unfriendly work environment.
There has been much discussion as to this question because of the existence of toupees. The Mishnah Berurah comments and describes the dispute. Some are forbidding the toupee kippah on account of Maarit Ayin. The idea here is that you need a kippah that is recognizable as such. Nevertheless, in a situation where a Jew is placed in a hostile, anti-Semitic environment, I would say there is certainly no reason to forbid it. The bottom line is I believe it is permitted.
Q: A woman converted to Judaism, and then married and had a firstborn male. Is there a Pidyon HaBen? A: There is discussion as to this situation because it has to be known that she never gave birth prior to her conversion.
If this is known to be true then there is an obligation to do a Pidyon HaBen even with a brachah. The real difficult questions accompanying this one are the variations of the situation. Suppose a woman is being
converted when she is already pregnant, and then gives birth. Then there should be a Pidyon HaBen but there is a question as to who should do it. If the situation is that the father is not Jewish, then there is still a necessity for the son to undergo this ceremony, and perhaps he should do it for himself later when he becomes an adult.
Q: If a boy is born and his mother is Jewish but his father is not, how is he called to the Torah, how is it written in his
Ketubah, or God forbid in his Get? A: The normal procedure for a Ketubah is to use his name, the son of his mother’s name, and that would be the case at
the Brit Milah – circumcision (as well as in the Get, God forbid). Calling him to the Torah might be a different situation, since if it is not known publicly what his situation is, then
hearing the mother’s name will raise eyebrows and possibly cause him to become embarrassed in public, which is a different set of rules. If that is the case then the proper procedure would be to call him for an aliyah using his maternal grandfather’s name.
Q: A retired Reform rabbi started coming to our shul and he walks to the shul and davens with us without any fanfare. Is it
possible to give him an aliyah? A: This is a difficult situation if the Reform rabbi is maintaining his beliefs in the Reform religious agenda. If he has
questions of God and the giving of the Torah then it would be improper to have him make a brachah that God gave us the Torah when he does not believe that Hashem did so. Hence one should not call him for an aliyah if he still maintains these Reform beliefs. If he has recanted those types of beliefs and believes that the Torah was God-given then it would be proper to offer him an aliyah as perhaps this is the way to encourage him to follow a more traditional path of life in his Jewish practices. After all, it was a good sign to begin with that he is coming to the shul and walking there of his own volition, and therefore probably it is a mitzvah to encourage him and bring him closer to Torah Judaism.

Congressional Support for Israel in 2015 The United States and Israel will both undergo significant changes to their governments in 2015. With more than 70 freshmen members of Congress taking office in January, and Israelis going to the polls to elect a new Knesset this March, both countries are poised to experience significant turnover in their legislative bodies.
Despite these wholesale changes, the U.S.-Israel relationship will continue to grow stronger regardless of who holds office.
Just this past December, the United States Congress reaffirmed America’s commitment to the Jewish state by passing critical pro-Israel measures in the 2015 fiscal year omnibus appropriations bill. This key legislation provides $3.1 billion in security assistance to Israel for 2015, which fulfills America’s annual commitment to the Jewish state.
In addition, this federal spending bill allocates $619 million toward U.S.-Israel missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, Arrow and David’s Sling. These critical defense technologies helped keep Israelis safe in the face of rocket fire from Gaza last summer, and are vital to protecting innocent civilians from threats on each of Israel’s borders.
Along with providing security aid, the omnibus bill addresses key challenges facing the U.S.-Israel strategic partnership.
It increases congressional oversight of the Iranian nuclear negotiations by requiring the administration to submit monthly reports to Congress on the state of Iran’s nuclear program. Additionally, the bill includes provisions that allow reductions in aid to the Palestinian Authority based on its support of terrorism, anti-Israel incitement, or unilateral actions at the United Nations. These measures strengthen Congress’ ability to support Israel’s security and promote the return to direct peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.
Although both allies have experienced significant changes in leadership, the United States and Israel have proven that their deep cooperation will only continue to bolster both countries as they seek to address the challenges of an increasingly uncertain world. Thanks to the persistent efforts on the part of pro-Israel Americans to engage Congress at all levels of leadership, those who care most about the safety and security of Israel have ensured that the United States will always stand shoulder-to-shoulder with its strongest ally.

PURIM LAWS & CUSTOMS
SHABBAT ZACHOR 1. On the Shabbat before Purim, (February 28th) 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 4th from daybreak (5:33 a.m.) until dark (6:59 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 4th, 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 6:59 p.m. on March 4th). In shul, we begin Maariv at 6:40 p.m. with Megillah reading beginning promptly at 7:00 p.m. in the Social Hall (no groggers). (Family reading 7:00 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.
Purim 5775/2015 Young Israel of Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale Page 21 PURIM LAWS & CUSTOMS (cont.)
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).
