Purim Basic Halachot (laws) in 5 Minutes

the basic Al of what you're responsible for in Pim it's only four things I went over it last last night but uh for anyone who didn't watch it four simple things one you have to do Mish at least two Mish uh the Mish has to be something that could be made into a meal so it's not just candy if you have just candy it's not it's not you're not fulfilling the Mitzvah it has to be considered a meal which is M and something to uh to drink so some people put cookies some people put sandwiches some people put uh you know uh something they made if they're giving it to somebody that they know most people usually put something that's already if they're giving it to people that are not really close to they give something that's still in the wrapping if you really know people well then you can give them something you cooked if you want but it has to be something that could be made into a meal the second thing is that you have to give uh uh gifts to the poor uh the uh the gifts to the poor has to be at least the value of a meal and it's two gifts two gifts two different people it has to be the value of one meal so a meal you know is anywhere between $7 and $10 you decide uh and you get have to give two gifts to the uh to the uh the uh third thing is is that you have to listen to M you have to listen to it twice one on Wednesday night tomorrow night and one on Thursday morning you have to listen to every single word if you miss a word if you didn't hear or didn't understand a word you have to have a open at the end of the you're going to see M you have to read the word yourself uh so it's very it's very important to uh for for uh uh men women and children to listen to the meila if the children are too young to understand comprehend and be quiet then it's better that you do it at a different time maybe have somebody come to your house that's play in our community both there's plenty of reading times if you can't do it with your wife like for example my wife and I can't go to the same one uh so she's going to go one time and I'm going to get it a different time so you have to listen to it twice uh the uh after you you finish the M uh you um on actually on when tomorrow there's a fast here the fast starts I think at around 6 o' in the morning 63 6:3 6:30 okay so it starts at 600 ends around 8:00 at night everybody has to check their own local times whoever is watching this uh the Miga is usually read a little bit before the fast ends so by the time the Miga is finished the fast is finished so then you go home you have a meal you're not obligated to have any special type of meal on the eve of Pim just a regular meal if you want to have a big meal you could have a big meal it's up to you but the meal that's part of the mitvah of puim is actually in the next day during the day of puim you have to have a meal uh that uh is with Bas and uh and um y you have to have uh wine and you have to have Bas Bas and wine is because you're celebrating so generally if somebody is a vegetarian this is one of those days you should consider breaking it because it's very important to fulfill the Mitzvah obviously if you can't and it disgusts you then you know so be it but uh uh you have to drink wine more than what you drink normally now it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to drink to the point where uh you uh you know you can't comprehend what's going on in the world but also you could get a little you know you get tipsy it's it's a mitvah but most important thing about getting drunk cuz I don't think uh many people go over this is that you cannot go to the Bessa drunk under any condition you can never go to a besset even walk into a besset drunk last year unfortunately I saw a few people that were drunk came into besset it's a big big big ass it's better off to miss the entire prayer uh than go to Bea drunk so yes what the best thing to do is to drink fall asleep for a half hour hour and then usually when you wake up you wake up when it's pretty much over uh if you're not a big drinker I'm not a big drinker I don't drink at all throughout the entire year I still have to drink a little bit just to make the Mitzvah but it's a for me to get drunk is probably not going to happen um so but anybody else that drinks normally uh you know on a regular basis you could drink a little bit more than normally and enjoy the holiday have a meal um and that's that's pretty much the basics of pooling people have them you know it's a uh it's a nice thing nice time to uh to dress up anyone that's dressing up kids dress up adults can dress up should dress up it's a fun day uh and uh we should definitely use it as a uh a time to enjoy amen amen amen
