Print This PageConsider following a directive from Maimonides for the celebration of Purim: In his Mishneh Torah (Laws of Megillah and Chanukah 2:17), he writes: “It is preferable to spend more money on gifts to the poor than on an individual’s Purim banquet and presents to friends. For no joy is greater and more glorious than the joy of gladdening the hearts of the poor, the orphans, the widows, and the strangers.”The joyous celebration of Purim begins this coming Saturday evening. Plan your schedule so you’ll be able to hear the Megillah read both on Purim evening and on Sunday, Purim day.
