4 Mitzvot of Purim
Reading the Megillah: Join us to hear the Megillah. The Megillah, “The Book of Esther,” is the scroll that tells the Purim story. When Haman’s name is mentioned, you can twirl groggers (noisemakers) or stamp your feet to eradicate his evil name. Tell your kids that Purim is the only time when it’s a mitzvah to make noise! The Megillah is read from a handwritten parchment scroll, using an age-old tune.
Sending Mishloach Manot: Sending food gifts to friends and family is one of the four Mitzvot performed on Purim. Thanks to B'nai Torah Women for spearheading this project. See below for how to purchase Mishloach Manot.
Feasting at the Seuda: Continue the joy on Purim day with the Purim Seuda, a festive meal. After the Megillah reading on March 7, we will join together to eat, drink and be merry!
Giving Matanot L'evyonim: How can we celebrate when others are hungry? At all of our Purim events, be sure to bring cash or a check for Matanot L'evyonim, donations for the poor.
If you have any questions, please email info@bnaitorah.org.
