chidon book 2 test 2

We read the מגילה twice: once on the night of פורים, and once during the day of פורים

You may also fast for personal reasons

Nowadays, by certain times we come together as a community fast and pray until we are saved

Kislev and Mar Cheshvan could be counted in 3 ways

The weight of the מחצית השקל mentioned in the תורה is:

How many ברכות are said before the מגילה is read

The מצוה of משלוח מנות should be sent with a messenger

ניסן was 29 days

טבת has 30 days

One of the מצוות of פורים is סעודת פורים

One of the questions the בית דין would ask the witnesses were how wide was the moon

Some people don't say שהחינו by מגילה reading in the morning

After the מגילה reading is finished , we say הרב את ריבנו which thanks 'ה for rescuing us from persecution entitled

A man ha s a obligation to drink wine or other alcohol that he can't tell the difference between ארור המן and ברוך מרדכי

The rules for what make a מגילה כשר aren't as strict as a ספר תורה

There are those who only say הרב את ריבנו with a minyan

מגילה is so important that it pushes off תורה learning if necessary, what is one מצוה that pushes off מגילה until later

The punishment for not giving מחצית השקל is malkus

It is best to read the מגילה with a minyan

If פורים falls out on מגילה שבת is read on:

The kohanim were commanded to blow a set of 3 blasts

On the 25th of אדר money changers also sat in the בית המקדש and they forced those who didn't give the מחצית השקל yet

The remaining pairs of witnesses were questioned even if the first pair of witnesses testimony were accepted, because:

We celebrate purim on the 14th of adar

When do the cities that have a wall around the city in ערץ ישראל celebrate פורים

The part of shulchan aruch and gemarah that speak about פורים is called מגילה

מצות תקיעת חצוצרות במקדש ובמלחמה applies to:

The מגילה must be written on parchment with ink by a sofer

Each month בית דין has a מצוה to proclaim the day of ראש חודש

מצות נתינת מחצית השקל בשנה applies to:

מגילה is the only מצוה of פורים that has its own ברכה

You only fulfil the מצוה of משלוח מנות if you gave 2 people two ready-to-eat food items

You should make a effort to eat and drink the entire day of פורים

The chachamim also established public fasting days to remember the terrible things that happened to us in the past

The messengers who brought the מחצית השקל may change the מחצית השקל to gold coins called dinarim

אלול has 29 days

Fasting was done on Monday, Thursday and Monday again

The kohanim would also blow the חצוצרות in times of misfortune

In the day and in the night of פורים we say על הניסים in ברכת המזון and in שמונה עשרה

מגילה could be read alone

one special thing about the city of shushan was that there was a wall around the city of shushan

Without a Beis Hamikdash we can no longer blow the חצוצרות

One of the most important things of פורים is מגילה

Nowadays, its a minhag to give only 3 half dollar coin to צדקה on Ta'anis Ester

Every how many years in the 19 year cycle, did the Sanhedrin add an extra month to the year?

The areas just outside these walls also celebrate פורים on the 15th of אדר which is called Shushan purim

The תפילה of אשר הניא is a:

The חצוצרות were a pair of trumpets made of pure silver
