This is the Everyday Judaism Podcast.

Beautiful Sunday morning everybody.

It is so magnificent to be here with all y'all to learn more Torah together in the Everyday

Judaism Podcast.

Today we are going to skip to Simon 141.

Kufme Malif, Simon Kufme Malif, we're going to learn about the laws of McGillah.

Previously, in our Everyday Judaism series, we studied the laws of the four partios, which

is chapter 140, which is the four portions that were added to the month of Adara, one

right preceding the month of Adara, Shkolim.

This past Shabbos was Zahar to remember Amalek.

Then we have Parshash Pahra, which is going to be next week.

And then we have Parshash Akhodesh, which is the Parshah right before the beginning of

the month of Nisan.

So during the month of Adara, with the one Shabbos preceding Adara, we read four special

portions of the Torah.

It's called the four partios.

And we did those laws previously, Simon 141.

And we also did the laws of the three other mitzvahs of the day of Purim, which are Mishlach

Manot, which is giving gift baskets to one another, Matanot Levionim, which is giving

money to the poor, and soodat Purim, which is having a feast on Purim.

But there's one mitzvah of those four mitzvahs that we did not yet discuss, and that's

what we're going to focus on today, and that is the laws of the McGillah.

The miracle that transpired with the Jewish people not only over 2,000 years ago, 2,400

years ago, but also the miracles we're experiencing today, not coincidentally, also having to

do with Purja, and dealing with the entire rulership of Purja.

And it is a great celebration, obviously, but we're going to learn those laws.

There are 23 CEFIM, 23, a little summary halachas in the Kitsershochnerch in the abridged

Code of Jewish Law, and we begin in ancient Purja during the reign of King Ahashweros,

his minister, the evil Haman, Hameni, plotted to annihilate the Jewish people and succeeded

in winning the approval of King Ahashweros to his plan.

The festival of Purim, which is held on the 14th of Adar, celebrates the fall of Haman,

and the miraculous deliverance of the Jewish people from their enemies in the battles,

that were waged at that time.

This simmon discusses the laws pertaining to the month of Adar, the laws of Tannis Esther,

the fast of Esther, which is tomorrow, and the laws of the reading of the McGillah, the

scroll containing the book of Esther, in which the events of Purim are related, the rest

of the laws of Purim are addressed in the following simmon, which as mentioned, simmon 142 will

be re-broadcast tomorrow on the everyday Judaism podcast.

Halach number one, Mishinir Knaas Adar Marbim Zimkhan, when the month of Adar comes upon

us, we increase in joy.

My grandfather points us out many of the stages pointed out, that means we should always

be in a state of joy.

Increase means more, but you should always be in a state of joy.

And by the way, when it says in the month of Adar, the month of destruction for the Jewish

people, when we had terrible tragedies before us, it doesn't say that you should be sad,

it says you should decrease a little in joy.

But you should always be in a state of joy.

The Israel, Shiite, Shloudin, Udvarimim, Akum, Yisbot, Imo, Bechodesh, Zaini, Jew, who

has a legal dispute, should schedule his judgment during this month, because we have great

fortune during this month.

We have great tidings and great omens during this time.

Halach number two, Steve Bees.

Bimei Mordechewesti, in the days of Mordech and Esther, Nikalura Yudim, Beslosha, Assela

Khoda, Shadar, and the Jews gathered on the 13th day of the month of Adar, la mode al-Nafsham

will hinnock him away from him to defend their lives and take vengeance on their enemies,

and how you'd syich him levakeh sh-rach him imeis Hashem, he's broke sh-maw, and they needed

to plea mercy from Hashem, may his name be blessed, Shi-Azim, that he should come to their

aid, and Motsinu, Shi-Ka-Ashir, how you saw the Makhama when the Jewish people were in

battle, his Anouv, Shi-Azim Hashem, they fasted so that Hashem should help them.

We got Mosheir bin Ovasham, Moshe, our leader of Blessed Memory, Biyom Sh-Nilchameh

Yom Malakisana, when he fought against the Amalekites, he fasted that day.

The Im-Kain, Mistama, Gam-Azim, Bimei, Mordechheva, Esther, his Anouv, Yom, Yud-Gymal, the Adar.

He says it's most likely, it's presumably that Mordechai and Esther as well, on the 13th

day of Adar also fasted, will A-Khain, and therefore, Kiblu-Alem, Khol Yusrol, Yom-Z, therefore,

the entire Jewish people accepted upon themselves, that we make this a public fast day.

Laitanis, Sibur, Shinikotanis, Esther, and therefore, we have the fast of Esther, which

tomorrow at sunrise begins the fast of Esther, and it still stars our out tomorrow evening.

Qeday-Lis-Gor-Shahabari is brought to remind ourselves that the Creator, Ro-Ev-Shom-Eat

Philos-Kolish, he listens and he sees all of our prayers, the prayers of each person,

based through us all, at their own unique time of distress.

Ka-Shay-Yis-An-E, and when he fasts, the Yashuv-Ela-Shem, the Khol-Eva-Von, and when we fast,

and we return to our Shem with our complete heart, Kamo-Shah-Azim-Azim-Azim-Azim-Azim-Azim-Azim-Azim-Azim,

Hashem did, for our forefathers, back in those days, Mikamo-Kom-Never-The-Las-Ein-Tan-Is-Zeh-Khova-Kol-Kach.

Notwithstanding that, this fast is not a complete obligation, Kamo-Arbatani-Sim-Shakosuba-Mikro,

like the other forefests whose sources are in Scripture.

Lakhain, therefore, Ye-Sh-Lah-Hok-Hel-Bob-E-Azim-Azim-Azim-Azim-Azim,

one may be lenient, in a case of need, Kigon-Muberus, a pregnant woman,

or Manikos, a nursing woman, or a filo Khol-Kach-Azim even someone who is slightly ill,

someone not feeling well, they don't need to fast,

be cave-ing-nime, someone who has eye pain,

she emits the tired, jarbe, if someone has that distress lawyer, you don't fast.

Vakhain-Yoledes, Kal-Lamidyaam, someone who

gave birth within 30 days shouldn't fast.

vechain khasun besok shivri mei mishta shalom, so too a groom within seven days of the feast of his wedding,

aina matsuyikhin mlazanoz do not need to fast.

Veifru u-satana sakhakach, and they may compensate for the fast by fasting a different day of the year in its stead.

Abel sh-Arabriyim, but people who are healthy,

lo yifru shu-satsum minatsibu should not separate themselves from the general community,

ve'afilu misha holeikh, but there are someone who is traveling with a cushion of tainis,

and it has a difficult time fasting, ve'khamukum tsar khlasanas should make every attempt to fast.

So it is an important thing for us to try to fast on this day,

and to be part of the congregation, to be part of the greater Jewish community.

Commonly this is a fast. Again, we do everything we can,

that is in our ability if we can to fast. Why? Because fasting means we limit ourselves physically

from our pursuit in this world, and we say Hashem,

we realize we may have gone overboard in our pursuit, we are humbling ourselves,

we are recognizing that everything is from you, and only through your strength

are we able to accomplish in this world.

Bayyom Yudallad Ador Hu-Purim. On the 14th day of Adar is Purim,

that is going to be on Tuesday this year.

Ve'im khal Purim, Biyom alif, and if Purim falls on Sunday,

Magdim al-Hisanos, Biyom hei, then we move the fast to Thursday, the previous Thursday.

Ve'im, Yeh sh-Az, Brismila, and if there is a circumcision on that day, on Thursday,

Yasos asud al-Balayla, they should make the circumcision meal at night.

The circumcision is always done by day, but the meal for it, because it's a fast day,

should be done at night. Abul-Hasandak via Ben, Mutar, Lechol, Biyom,

but the Mohel and the Sandak, who is the person who holds the baby,

otherwise known as the Godfather, or the father of the child,

they are allowed to eat on that day.

Even though it's a fast day, Ve'im最khe'm Lisanos, Ve'im最khe' Lisanos

Biyom wa'v, and the don't need to fast on Friday, Abul-Aud Salah.

Akhershah sh-Az,員h a person who forgot and ate on that Thursday,

Yis-Ana, Biyom, Biyom va'v should fast on Friday.

Loghvah da-Migila, in honor of the Miggila reading, Yeh sh-Lulbo,

Shabbos Miba-eraf. It is proper to don special Shabbos clothes for the hearing of the

Miggila in the synagogue. Because Shabbat Mibesah can ask this. And when he returns from

the synagogue, Yimzab-e-Besonero's dokels, it's proper to have candles lit because it's a

festive holiday. You should have candles lit when you come home from the synagogue

after reading the Miggila.

All of your the beds should be covered, made nicely. Your couch should be all set. Everything should

be just like you do on Friday night. Arvis, the Maref prayer, are as follows, the Ahash-e-Buen-Esser,

Om-um-Kad-e-Shalim, Im-Tis-Kabel, Haka-Kach-O-Mim-B-A-T-A-T-A-Kadoosh. So what happens is the evening

service, which is going to be tomorrow night. At the end of the fast, we're going to have the

evening service, the Maref. Then we recite the Qadish-Tis-Kabel, which is the Qadish that

follows every prayer, which is that Hashem should accept our prayers. Then we read the Miggila,

and then we say the Ah-Tak-O-Dosh, which is a part of the, we say this on Saturday nights,

and additionally we say this after the fast, after the Maref, after we read the Miggila.

Additionally, the reason this prayer is recited is because its opening verse is in the

Psalm of La Manatech, Alayel-Asa-Sahach, for the conductor, on the Ayel-Asa-Sahach, Shinnemar,

Al-Esser, because it says on Esther, and Shamm-Nemar, Elo-Kai-Ekroh. The Nammar, Al-Mikra-Miggilah,

the Amar-Ab-Yushurban-Lavi, Khayawad-um-Likras-Samm-Miggilah-Balayel-Ulish-Nos-Abayom, Shinnemar,

Elo-Kai-Ekroh-Yom-An-Valossan-Evil-Ilo-Lod-Dum-Yoleh. Okay, so we read the Miggilah at night,

and we read the Miggilah the following morning. So, for a morning, we read the Miggilah again,

and he brings over here the reason why we recite this V-A-Tak-O-Dosh,

Rasam-Ech-Le-V-A-Tak-O-Dosh, and we say, you are the Holy One, and Ah-Hakach-Kad-Shulim,

below T-S-Kaba, then we recite the full Qadish without the T-S-Kaba-U-M-A-T-Shaba-S.

And on M-A-T-Shaba-S, in order, the order is as follows,

the Hinoam, which is the regular, regular part of our prayer, may the pleasantness

of our service of Hashem, the Ah-Tak-O-Dosh, and then Qad-Shulim, below T-S-Kaba-V-Y-T-Al-Hakach-Le-V-A-Tak-O-Dosh,

we say, we don't have to, we don't have to, we don't have to, we don't have to, we don't have to, we don't have to,

Al-Qauss-Aleinu, and then we recite the Havdala, and we recite Al-Aleinu after we reread the M-Gilla.

N-A-Gin-Lit-N-Kod-N-Purim. Before Purim, it is customary to donate M-A-T-S-M-A-T-B-A-Kavua,

one half of the coin of the standard denomination that you have in your country.

So it could be a half dollar, which you'll find in every synagogue, they'll have a half dollar. Why?

Because there was the Shackel that was given during the month of Adar, preparing for Nisan. Nisan is

the beginning of the Jewish calendar, and they would have everyone donate prior to the month of Nisan,

they would donate the half Shackel to the temple so that there was enough money for all the offerings

that were brought. Let's talk about this. Ciber for all, the purpose of funding the communal offerings,

and Minnog-Lit-N-Gim-L-Mahatzis to give three halves, so that would be a dollar 50 in our currency,

per person. Mishum de Papyrus Kisisa, Kisiv Gim-L-Pahamim, true, because it says three times to give

a donation in the portion of Kisisa about the Shackel. Pynos Nibb-Aryul of Fnekriya,

S-M-Gillem, you give it, it's proper to give it in the evening prior to reading the M-Gillem,

and Mechalkin Osalaniyem, and they give that money, we distribute it to the poor people.

Koton Potor, a minor is exempt from this requirement, the im ofim Nisan Bishvil,

Bishvil Loh, Pam Ahas, Khayev Lohlam, but if his father gives it on his behalf, one time,

when he's a child, then he needs to give it for the rest of his life. Benyud Gim-Lshana,

regarding one who is 13 years old, Ye Shalom de Khayev, Ye Shalom de Papyrus,

some authorities say that he's obligated, some say that he's not obligated.

I'd she have an estrum Shana till he is 20 years old. I'm because usually a child who's 13 years old

is still some of Khashoghanov, if he's still on his father's table, on his father's bank account.

When he's 20, he's usually independent, not anymore. Now it's probably 25 years old.

Once they get married, they become even then, they're supported by their parents.

Okay, either way, Sahallah number six, be it poor him, on the day of poor him,

Dahainu Biyom Yudallid, on the 14th day of Adar, Arvis Shakhres Umincha on the evening prayer,

preceding poor him, which is a ready poor him, and in the morning prayer Shakhres,

and the afternoon prayer of Mincha, Om Ramalanesim. We add the Alanesim,

and Shakhres, Dino Kemochanaka, then the laws, if he's one forgot to recite, to add the Alanesim,

which we say right after modem, also if someone eats a meal, they have to add the Alanesim

and the Bimei Mordechyver Esther. I will tell you that we learned these laws previously,

that if you start the meal during the daytime of the obligation, for example, Shabis,

if you begin your meal on Shabis, and then Shabis goes out, he didn't bench it, he didn't recite

the grace after meals, or you obligated to have the inserts for Shabis, or is it out of Shabis?

So it goes by when you started the meal, it goes by when you started the meal. However,

if you start the meal before Raschhodesh, and then you eat the meal into Raschhodesh,

if you had bread in the evening, you add the Yalaviyah to it. That's what he says. Okay,

Halakh number seven, Khayev Kall Adam, Bain Ish, O Bain Ish, O Lishmar,

Kriya Smirgilla, Baleilobayom, everyone is obligated, both men, women, children are

obligated to hear the Migilla reading by night and by day, with a Khayn Gama Besurs,

Yeh Shlahem O Lachis, O Baisa Knesses, even the unmarried girls should go to the synagogue to hear

the Migilla, and in on how al-Hul Khos, to Khosil Khosil of Nehen, bye-bye, and if they don't go

to Shul, they don't go to synagogue to hear the Migilla, that's fine, they should hear it at home.

Ve Gham, S. Haktanim, Khayavim, Lakhaneh Osam, also young children, it's proper to educate them,

Shishmar, Kriya Smirgilla, to hear the Migilla reading. Mekhamakumly, O Libesa,

Knesses, Khatana, Biyose, Shem, Ibalbalim, Dasha Shulman, it's proper not to bring little children

that are going to make noise and disturb others from hearing the Migilla appropriately, so if you

can bring your children, it's fine, but they have to contain themselves and not make too much noise,

unless it's during the reading of Haman, when we say the name Haman, we bang and make a lot of

noise. Now, everyone is welcome to join us in our synagogue, I'll give the information when we're

off air, everyone is welcome to join us, there's plenty of room for men and women and children and it

is quite festive, bring some air plugs because it is loud. Migilla, Shal, Laila, Osolikros, it is

forbidden to begin the nighttime reading of the Migilla. Khayavim, says, Hakohavim before,

the stars are out, so Monday night you can't say, I'm going to do an early reading, no, no, no,

you have to read it after the stars are out on Monday night. Af al-Pisham, its style, Harba,

Mach Mach Satin is even though he's in great distress because of the fast because we're

going to be fasting the whole Monday and then Monday night you're like, okay, let's get

this thing rolling already.

I want to eat.

I'm hungry.

You have to read the McGillah and then take out your fast.

Acht Yachol Litum, Katsas Kodam and McGillah, if one has a really difficult time, after

stars are out, one may drink and eat something and then read the McGillah but not to get carried

away, not to eat a whole meal but one may break their fast if they need to cook on

coffee, if someone needs to drink coffee, the Kadoma and the like.

They list Chazik Mahatme Khushat Satin is that one have strength after fasting the

whole day.

We can do it.

We got this.

Our generation, we eat enough.

We have nothing to worry about eating.

Now, if someone has a health condition, don't play games with that.

Allah makes it very, very clear that if someone is even not feeling well but it's not a

danger, you should eat.

Definitely if it is a danger, someone who's diabetic, someone who has any type of medical

condition, don't play games, don't try to be oh Mr. righteous, just eat the way you

need to eat to be healthy and don't play with your health.

However, if someone is strong, someone is capable, then it is very praiseworthy for one

too fast on a time assessor, the faster of Esther, which again this year in 2026 will

be, or toughshin, pay, vav, which is 5, 7, 8, 6.

This year one should be sure on Monday, tomorrow, too fast.

Mids from the Mufkha Lishmar, Chris and McGill are very sicknessed, but Mokam Shia's robe

are not shunned.

It is proper to, it is a higher standard of proper to read the McGill in a synagogue

where there are many people, Mishoom, Debarov, Ahmah, Hadras, Melchans, King Salman, teaches

us in Proverbs, that the more the Mary, the more people together, the more honor and

glory it is for the Almighty, that we, all right, it says in the multitudes of people is

the glory of the King, performing Mitzvahs in the participation of many people brings

greater glory to Hashem, which interestingly, as a side note, there is a dispute between

the Ashkenazic Jews and the Sephardic Jews about when they do a bris for a baby.

The Ashkenaz do it in the morning, why do they do it in the morning?

Because it says, there is a reason Magdem in the Mitzvahs, you should hurry to do a Mitzvah,

don't wait, don't delay, but the Sephardic follow the verse that says, they are all Ahmah

Hadras, Melchans, the more people the better, the more honor it is in Mitzvah, the more people

that can participate the better.

When is more people awake and able to come?

Not in the morning, not at 7 a.m., right?

Most people don't like peeling themselves that, they get their kids to school, etc., etc.

So if you could do it at a later time, the Sephardic prefer that, but again, everyone has

to follow their own custom.

Okay, this is just a sign out, so you understand that this is not just a, we pulled, we pulled

a line at a King Salman's Proverbs, no, no, no, it's a very important thing.

Well, the Chalapach was year-end, the Shma'a, O sun, Baminion, I'm sorry, it's proper

for want to hear the Miguel with ten people.

That means it should be at least a minion.

And if someone is unable, they're in a place where there is no minion.

Yikra also call Yachid, Mithok, Miguel, Xreira, Imabrakhan, Shlophanel, then everyone can

read it from a Miguel on their own with a blessing before and after it.

And if one knows how to properly read it from a Miguel, Yikra, Zah, Shuhu, Yodah, the

him, Yishmur, the one who knows how to read it should read it and everybody else should

listen.

He ought to see him off of pee, she ain't a masar, and even if there aren't ten people

there, he should have them in mind and fulfill them in their obligation and have them in

mind in their obligation.

Ababrakhan shlokhare al-Ain omrim rakbassara, the after blessing of the Miguel, should

only be done with ten people.

And ah, below Shem Umau khus, Yachul, Gam Yachid, Omra, but if you don't say Hashem's

name in that final blessing, because it's a blessing that's recited after reading the

Miguel.

Haravus Rivenu has done his dininu, right?

That blessing should be recited only with Hashem's name when there are ten people.

Min, alakhan number ten.

Minak b'khul yusur al-Shakura, Inakura, Mithur, Miguel, Krukhah, Eloh, Poshet, Osav,

Kofla, Daph, Al-Daph, Kimo, Igeris, Miphanation, Nikreis, Igeris, Hapurim, Hazos, Abala,

Shomim, Inu, Tsuchim, Lifashtah.

So the proper way for the Miguel to be read is to be read like a scroll.

So if you'll see the person who's reading it for the congregation, doesn't read it and

just keep on turning it like a Torah scroll.

You open it up so it'd be like a letter, which is all, it's all spread out and you continue

to read it as you would a long letter.

Halakhir yur alaf.

Hakura is Samagilah.

Someone who reads the person who's reading the Miguel, that, but that's, by the way,

what we said about it being open is only for the person reading it.

Every person who's sitting there with their own Miguel, can have it rolled.

That's fine.

It doesn't have to be open in their full format.

Halakhir yur alaf.

Halakhir number 11.

Hakura is Samagilah.

Bain baiyong mebbalayla.

Someone who reads the Miguel, whether it be the evening reading or the day reading,

Mivoregly fauna al-shah sh-brokhus reads three blessings in front of me before it.

What are they?

Al-Mikre Miguel, on the reading of the Miguel.

Al-Shanishim, that God performed miracles, and Saheq yanu.

Very good.

Halakhir yusakur, khakula, womeniq alafana,

Wa mubarakhyinbarikhaz haraavis rivenu.

Then after they finish reading the Miguel, they roll up the Miguel into just a scroll,

and then they recite the after blessing of Haraavis rivenu.

Aweim.

Av worth, Kore instructed, if a mourner is reading the Miguel, he's the person who knows

how to read the Miguel.

Yivorech aachair aachair esabrochos mishum berochasjahiyanu.

It's not appropriate for them to read shahiyanu when they're in mourning.

Hashem gives us life, right?

It's not appropriate, so someone else should read the blessings.

Berochasjahiyanu shall yom yichhavenu gham al mitzos mischlach manos matanos love yonim

wisu das porm.

So the evening when we recite the shahiyanu,

have in mind for the mitzavah mi gila.

But the shahiyanu that we recite during the day,

reading of the mi gila,

have in mind for the other three mitzavis that you're going to perform during the day.

What are they?

Matanos love yonim, give him money to pour,

mischlach manos, giving gift baskets,

and the mitzavah of having a feast.

So you're having the shahiyanu in mind for those three mitzavis.

So therefore the person who's reading the mi gila

for the congregation should have in mind for everyone else

that this is fulfilling their mitzavahs that they're going to perform throughout the day.

Hikorus and mi gila a zorgs lechhaven la hotzi is called shom.

Someone who reads any time you do this by the way,

you have to have in mind,

this is any type of reading,

have in mind to fulfill the obligation of the members of the congregation.

Vigama Shamatzorgh lechhavenlotz.

And the person who hears the blessing and the mi gila has to have in mind

to fulfill his mitzavah of hearing the mi gila.

We mentioned this with regard to the laws of blowing the chauffeur.

Same thing.

The person blowing the chauffeur recites the blessing has to have in mind to fulfill

everybody in their obligation.

The same thing applies that the person hearing the chauffeur blowing has to have in mind

to fulfill his obligation with it.

We have to hear every word of the McGillah.

Shafilu, Imrak, Teva, Acha, Slo, Shama, and Iyota.

If someone misses one word, they don't fulfill the mitzvah of the McGillah.

You have to hear the whole thing.

Lakhinsar, Kakarilash, Yachma, Ocha, Bashar, Shamar, Ishii, Mubal, Bulin, Baakaz, Haman,

that when the person reading the McGillah has to be very cautious, that when they're

banging and making all that noise and the commotion with the sound of Haman's name, that they

shouldn't swallow up the words of the following, because you say, Haman, and then everyone's

making all those noise and you continue reading, now they miss two words or a word.

You've got to be very careful about that.

Yishtog, Ad, Yav, or Harash, Lagamri, he has to say that Haman, everyone's to hear it,

they make their noise fine, and now your main silent till they're done with their commotion

and noise, and then he can continue reading after it's done completely.

Ubachal, Makum, Umikamakum, Rauw even nachon, shi'yel, khal, echad, McGillak, Sherek,

de shiyomar, ba'atsma, milib, milib, alaakhash, it is proper for every person to have

their own McGillah with them, and then what do they do?

They read along, and they read along, so even if they didn't hear the McGillah being

read by thee, person, they're reading along, and they're going to at least fulfill that.

and-lo-yishmat-teva, aachas minakore,

ve-khein, kaw-e-shah,

khachmas, leif,

shah-ummedis-pais-was-nashim,

im-e-f-shah-matov,

li-yo-slah, m-gillok, shah-a,

li-kros, mitohah.

It is proper if a woman is able to

to do the same.

Kisham kasha-l-ishmah,

because sometimes the woman's section

is a little bit further,

and it's harder for them to hear.

Weha'in-nas-yam khayyawos,

Kumah'in-nas-yam, and women,

because it's their miracle as well,

because of queen Esther.

It's their miracles, well, they're obligated in this mitzvah as well.

The Imlo Kittros al-Avano, Vinira, Saba, Shanskriya, Samaigila, Ayin, Leel,

Sof, Simtaniq, Zain, if a person did not yet recite the Kittros al-Avano,

the Kittros writes that if there is enough time to recite Kittros al-Avano after the completion of Nugila,

Mugila, they should not interrupt the reading.

However, if the congregation has not yet recited Kittros al-Avano,

and if they do not interrupt, the opportunity will pass.

Then they should interrupt the reading of the Mugila to recite the Kittros al-Avano,

which is the blessing on the moon.

Okay?

Halacha Yudhalad, number 14.

Hakorat Saurakshi, Yongmar, Esa, Serus, Bene, Haman, Begam, Tevas, Aseres, Hakoban, Shima, Ahas.

So they have to load up their lungs with air, the person reading.

And when he reads the names of the ten sons of Haman, Hamani, Haman,

they have to read all the ten names in one breath,

including the following word Aseres, Bene, Haman, right?

So they all are all the ten names, and then the following word of Aseres,

which means the ten.

Lo Dia Shakulam, Nergu, Vinit, Lu, Ke'ah, they were all taken.

They were all killed at once together.

Vinogam, Achatrila, Lomar, Min, Chamesh, Meos, Ish,

Nicole, Nicole, Benishima, Ahas, you start from Chamesh, Meos, Ish, they killed 500 men.

Yes.

And then you read all the names of the ten sons of, of Haman, Aseres, and then you can take a breath.

All in one fell swoop.

They all fell.

Wumashinar, Gim, Bixas, Mekomo, Shahak, Shakul, Nicole, Omri, Maseres, Bene, Haman.

And we're, uh, Aino, Minog, Nakhon, he says in some places, people,

the whole congregation joins in when they say Aseres, Bene, Haman, there,

everyone's like all excited.

It is not a proper custom for people to do that.

Ella Hakora Levad, just the, the, uh, person reading it for the congregation,

Yom Rambakol Yishmo, everybody should listen.

And only the reader should say it out loud.

Kimo, Kamal Umigilah, just like the rest of the Migilah.

Kishomara Hakora Balayla, who noddedo, Ya Gbiyakolo,

Koyakolo, Ya Gbiyakolo, when they, when they read the part that,

Ahashfarosh had a difficult time sleeping.

He should raise his voice.

Kishom Maatchil Ikaranehs, because the beginning of the miracle started at that point.

That's the beginning of the miracle.

We Kishomara Hakora, you guys have those, you know, Nihasa McGillah, when he reads this

McGillah, this, he should shake his McGillah, because it's referring to this McGillah.

Halach number 15,

who me, she has no fun on McGillah Pseula,

oh, Khamash, if someone has a McGillah, which is not kosher, or a, Khamash,

law, you can't, you can't, you should not read with the community reader,

with the person reading it out loud.

Kim Hukorae,

Eino Yachal Khaven Lishmaa, min Ashlach Zibor,

wa fi luh im Hum Yachhaven,

Shema Yishmaa Akher Maashuh Hukorae,

wala Yachhaven Likros,

Ashlach, Likriyasa Ashlach Ziby,

you have to be very careful when you read, to not read loud,

that you shouldn't interrupt yourself, others, or the person reading for the congregation,

and interrupt their reading.

Wala Khayn Le Yisaya Shum Adam,

Baal Pseula Shlach Zibor,

nobody should correct the person who is the reading of the McGillah for the community.

Wala Khayn Osanaar Ba'ah,

Suki Gu'ulah Shahoma Makar,

Bukhol Ram,

Saur Khashliya Shlach Zibor,

Lach Zibor, Lekros,

Mitoch, McGillah Akhera.

So when they read, there's four verses that are read out loud by the listeners

and by the reader,

and he should wait till everyone concludes,

everyone finishes, then he says it,

and he should make sure that he reads it properly from the kosher McGillah.

Allah, number 16,

Tezain,

Mishikfire Yatsub,

Bukyas McGillah,

Vikore Lehotsia Khayn,

someone who already heard the McGillah,

and now is reading it for others.

Im Ze Shuhut Saur Khlatses Yodayah,

Be Atzmo Le Vare Khaysa,

Bukhas Yivork Be Atzmo.

So now, he recited the blessing,

or he heard the blessing already,

should he recite it when he's having other people in mind in the McGillah?

So if the person hearing the McGillah knows how to recite the blessing,

they should recite it themselves.

Ve Imhi Isha, Tov Yostesh Akhori Yivare Kh,

Ve Omar Asher Qadi Shana Bin Mitzvosov,

Witsiwan Al-Ashman McGillah,

it is proper that if he is reading it for a woman,

that the reader should recite the blessing for her.

Allah, number 17,

Mishabas Shaheena Puram,

on Shabas, when it's not Puram,

Muhtar Al-Talta Al-Assam McGillah,

it is permitted to move the McGillah's scroll,

Mekham Al-Kham Imkhal Puram Bi Am-Echad, however,

if Puram is on Sunday,

one may not bring the McGillah's scroll to the synagogue on Shabas for the purposes

of the McGillah reading on Mote Shabas.

Why?

Because it's a one of the prohibited actions on Shabas,

which is Mechim preparing for aftershabas.

You're not allowed to prepare from Shabas to weekday.

It's a disgrace for the Shabas that you're preparing for aftershabas.

You're like rushing out of Shabas and can't wait.

I'm already making my plans.

You know, the joke they say about this guy who walks over to his friend,

he says,

not to do business on Shabas,

Nishabas Shaheena Puram,

let's not talk about this on Shabas,

but I'm selling my car.

There's really which one.

He says, you know, my Mercedes, I'm selling my car.

He says, really, not to discuss this on Shabas,

but how much are you asking for?

So he says, not to discuss this on Shabas,

I'm only asking for this and that.

He says, okay, Nishabas Shaheena Puram,

not to be discussing business on Shabas,

I'll get back to you.

And then the next morning,

it comes to him and he says to him,

not to discuss it on Shabas,

I'm interested.

He says, not to discuss some Shabas, it's sold.

Okay, that's not appropriate.

It's not appropriate for one to do that.

You don't discuss these things on Shabas.

You don't plan for aftershabas,

don't plan vacations on Shabas,

don't plan business ideas.

Now, one thing you can plan on Shabas is Torah.

Okay, you can plan.

I'll learn with you during the week.

I'll plan, I'll learn with you.

It's a very special thing for a person to do because that's a mitzvah.

Okay.

I feel a bit weird,

she must be in a,

in Ruvin,

Mishun,

Dehavi,

Meychin,

Bishabas,

Lakhal,

because even if there is in the city in Aero,

you still cannot carry the McGillah for aftershabas,

because it is preparation on Shabas for aftershabas.

Allah,

Allah,

number 18,

Yudh Khess.

Sibur,

she aint lahem,

she ahtibu,

she aqa,

Likris,

Sama Gili,

Ima,

Taamim,

Kuroi,

if a congregation,

a community does not have someone who can properly read the McGillah

according to its proper

attun,

Yachh Ali,

Kuras,

Gambalotam,

you can read it without the attun.

Raksh Yigras,

Ahtibus,

Kuroi,

Shaloy,

Yishtanah,

Iñan.

So you have to make sure that you read every word

and make sure you pronounce them correctly in a way that does not change the translation

of the words,

because sometimes if you misread the word,

doesn't really change the meaning.

Sometimes you misread the word,

it's a different word completely,

and that would be inappropriate.

So as long as,

and that's the qualification,

by the way, for a mistake,

read by a person reading from the Torah,

is that if it changes the meaning,

it has to be re-read.

If it doesn't change the meaning,

then you can just leave it.

It's best for it to be read properly.

Shimkara,

Bimkom,

Umarachai Yoshev,

Yashav,

O Bimkom,

Vahama Nofale,

Nofahal,

Vekadoma,

Afilubidyev,

Enuyoze,

says if it says about,

about,

Mordachai,

that Mordachai

is,

was sitting

and now he changes

that to Mordachai sat,

it changes the,

the explanation or,

and

Heyman

was prostrated

or,

and Heyman fell,

it changes the meaning.

And in those cases,

a person should

it is proper

to

correct that.

Viyachomen,

Lasus,

Bimgil,

Nakudus,

Vita Amim,

Shiyikra,

Kahogen,

Kevan,

Shuhu,

Shastatrak,

and if a person needs

to have the vowels,

it is okay for them to have the vowels

because,

and Hachai Adivtfei,

Mimgash,

Shiyikra,

Akher,

Mitochachhomash,

Bala Khash,

the Kevan,

Shazaea,

Koray, Mitochachhomash,

Afilubhukar, Bala Khash,

Enuyochal,

Khabindato,

Shiyishmashmashmashlach,

Zibur,

and Nimcah,

Shikar Arrak,

Mitochachhomash,

and Enuyoze,

Viyim,

Eira,

Kach,

Zorachlach,

Zorachlach,

Zorachlach,

Shema, Mitoch,

McGill,

Xweria,

So it is proper for a person to read from an actual

McGill from an actual scroll,

and not to read it only from a Khumish

for the public or for themselves.

It's proper to read it from an actual scroll.

Zibur,

Shainlah, McGill,

Ksharek, Adina,

if a community does not have a McGill or a scroll,

right?

Mekomokom,

Imihi,

Ksuva,

Beklav,

Kya khasorak,

Shakhasserim,

Aza,

Tavis,

Behmzah,

so let's say they do have a scroll,

but it's missing a few words,

Kha'van, Shiloh, Khasor,

Ba'inion,

Echad, Shaleim,

Yohon, Likras, Mitoch, Ima, Brakhas,

so if it doesn't have,

if it's just missing a word or two,

it's not missing a whole section,

then you can still recite a blessing on the reading of that McGill,

and read it,

Wahatous,

Yukhra, Koreb, Al-Pah,

and the part that is missing,

you should read by heart.

Oh, Yomala,

Fana, Bala, Khash, Mitoch, Mish,

or he can have someone whisper it to him from a Khumish,

and he says it out loud,

Aval,

Iim, Iim, Iim, Iim, McGill,

if they don't have any McGill or whatsoever,

they don't have any scroll.

Oh, Shachhasa, Ba'inion, Echad, Shaleim,

or if it's missing an entire section,

Oh, Shachhasa, Ba'init, Khiloh, Bishof,

or it's missing the beginning or the end,

Korem, Mitoch, Khumish,

Kolech, Iim, Iim, Iim, Iim, Iim, Iim,

then everyone can read it from a,

Khumish, from a Torah book,

but you don't recite the blessing before it.

Piyachet, Shainel-Arak, Miggilab, Sula, Koreb, Bala, Brakhos,

and an individual who doesn't have a Miggilab to read from,

but only a Khumish, by the way,

every one of the stone-aditioned Khumish is,

every one of the Khumish is that you'll find,

they generally have all the five Miggilas.

There's five different Miggilas.

One of them is the Book of Esther, right?

There's a Miggilab of Shira-Shiram,

there's a Miggilab of Ruth,

there's the Miggilab of Kohalas, Ecclesiastes,

and the Miggilab of Echa, which is a lamentation.

So these are all five,

so Miggilas Esther is just one of five of the Miggilas.

Halachan number 19, and we only have three more,

four more Halachas.

Halachan number 19.

Sibur, Shainel-A Miggilab, Shira-Kedina, Mekhamakum,

Imhi, Ksur, Beklavkil, Khos-Arak, Shach-Asir,

Meezu, Tevis, Behmzah,

or so we just read this.

So a person, make sure that if you can,

read it from the scroll.

If you don't have a scroll,

then you can read it from a Khamish,

but without a blessing.

Avail Toh, Shiva, Nohaeg, Bechaldina, Availo.

Someone who is in the seven days of morning

for the passing of a parent

or the passing of someone close relative,

they continue their morning as usual.

Vahasul-Liros, Kol, Menei, Simcha,

Ah, Menei, Ilah, Sassandov, Yashiva, Al-Gabaisaf,

Soh, Mutar, however,

they are permitted to wear shoes

and sit on a chair, Mipne, Shaheem, Dvar, Manir,

like whole because they're visible to all.

And it's not appropriate, Balaila, however, at night,

if he's able to gather a minion in his home

and read the Meejila Mutav,

it is best for one to do so.

Balaila, Miochal, S. of minion,

but Lebeso, Likras, Meejila, Mutav.

If I'm live, and if he cannot,

you spell the Bebeso, he should Davin

in his house, Viyelah Khilabir,

Constance, Lashmah, Meejila,

then he should go, Davin,

evening prayers in his house,

but then go to the synagogue

for the reading of the Meejila.

Ibn Khaba Mutashabis,

and if the festivities of Purim begin Mutashabis,

meaning it's a Sunday Purim,

Yehul Khilabis-e-Saknesah, Sula Ahar,

Sula Shlishis, Bo Yom,

then he should go to synagogue

for the third meal during the daytime.

Uba Yom, Oleh Khilabis-e-Saknesah,

let's feel a little Meejila,

and the morning he should go for prayers

in the synagogue as well,

and for the reading of the Meejila.

Why? Because he's not supposed to go after Shabis,

he's not supposed to be walking around,

he's a mourner,

but during Shabis,

you're not mourning on Shabis,

there's no mourning on Shabis,

and therefore he should walk the synagogue

and stay there from Shabis,

that way he's not just walking the roaming the streets

as he mourns.

Hallachah number 21, Meejila, Meejila, Meejila,

Meejila, Meejila, Tynacest,

or someone who passed away on the fast-investor,

Balailush, who, Onain, Kodemakwura,

and now they haven't buried the person

till the next day, which is Purim.

So now he's an Onain,

an Onain is a person who is a relative of someone who passed

between the time of the passing and the time of the burial.

During that time, they're obligated,

they're not obligated in any midst of us.

So what do they do?

Do they read the Meejila?

Do they hear the Meejila?

Yeesh, Makryas Meejila, Meejila, Meejila, Meejila.

He should have someone else read the Meejila for him,

Beloyah, Habbas, Beloyah, Yeesh, Tiain,

you should not eat meat and you should not drink wine.

Kibbalaila, Eino, Khayev, Mishdah,

because he's not obligated in a feast in the evening.

Hubayom, al-Akhir Yitziyah,

Mebesa, Knessas, Kovram, S. Hamas,

then in the morning, after they read the Meejila

and after they pray, the morning prayers,

then they should do the burial,

they said the funeral and the burial.

Verhakir, you spell the Eekras of Meejila.

Let's read that again.

One who had someone related to him die on Tannis,

Esther, Beloyah, Ayn, Onain, Kodem, Akwora,

who Onain, right?

And at night, he is an Onain, which is again,

the mourner between passing and burial.

Yishmah, you should have someone else read the Meejila

but you should not eat meat or drink wine.

Kibbalaila, Khayev, Mishdah, Eino, Khayev, Mishdah,

because at night, one is not obligated to feast.

Hubayom, and during the day,

al-Akhir Yitziyah, Mebesa, Knessas,

after leaving the synagogue, Kovram, S. Hamas,

they buried the S. Hubayom and after that,

they should pray and read the Meejila.

I thought they did already.

Oh, Yishmah Makhir, or hear it from another person,

listen to someone else read it.

The Imshamakriya, S. Meejila, Kodem, Akwora,

and if you heard the Meejila reading,

before the burial, Yatsah, he fulfilled his obligation.

Mekhamakom, Nakhon, Shiaq, Zavir, Iqra,

it's proper for him to read the Meejila again

below, brokhe without a blessing,

U-U-U-U-Tfilin, Loyaniya, Khafil, Akhakvori,

should not put on Tfilin after,

even after the burial, Kibbal, Shuhu, Yom, Rishmah,

and Evo, good is the first day of his morning.

The Onain, Bipurin, Biyom, Mutr, Bibbal, Sava, Ya'in,

but in Onain, during Purim Day,

is permitted to eat meat and drink wine,

something that they're not permitted to do

during the seven days of fasting,

they're not supposed to eat meat and drink wine.

Allokha number 22, just two more left.

Shakhris, Mashkeem, Labesakneses,

in the morning, we rise early to attend the synagogue.

This is everyone, not referring to mourners.

Lakhashmuna, S. Ray, Omram, Khatsi, Khadish,

and after the repetition of the Amida, the Shmuna, S. Ray,

we recite a half-cadish,

we call on Batorah, Pasha's, Bayava, Amalek,

and we read the Torah reading of Amalek from Exodus,

which is at the end of Pasha's Bishalach.

Tlasa, Gavri, we call up three people,

Vakhak, Khatsi, Khadish,

and then we read, they have,

we then we recite the half-cadish,

Valla, Akhashmah, Nisan, S. S. A. B. A. Batorah,

and after we return the Torah to the ark,

Cornus, McGill, we read the McGill,

Valla, Akhabah, Akhronah,

and after the after- blessing of the McGill,

A. Omram, S. A. A. B. A. B. A. Haneel,

Valla, Akhash, S. C. M. Ha'el Amoshiyah,

Omram, S. A. B. A. C. M. A. Aleh,

they're Om, A. B. A. A. B. A. C. And,

they've got a sholam in the deepis, Kabbal.

He says, then we finish all of the rest of the prayers,

of the after-the- McGill.

And the Ashrin, they've all been at the end of our prayers,

our normal prayers.

And then we recite the Qadish with Kabbal

that A. B. A. B. A. should accept our prayers.

The A. A. several-sister and Akhar,

creates a McGillan. One should not remove his fillin till after the reading of the McGillan,

Misham Dixibba, because it says v-car, and honor, and the fillin are called yikar, they're

called honor. With our shin and elu, fillin, and these are the fillin. Fillin are very,

very precious. And we hear we're saying, and what is precious, and therefore we read

the McGillan while we have our precious on us. Imiyesh Milif, there's a bris on the

day of Purim. Mollin, Kodim, Chris, McGillan, then you do the circumcision prior to the reading

of the McGillan, Misham Dixibba, Vesason, Zoh, Mila, it says Vesason, and great joy, and great

joy is referring to the myths of circumcision. We do that before we read the McGillan. At the time

of the miracle of Purim, King Ahashwera granted the Jews on the 13th day of Adir to wage war on

their enemies. On the 14th day of Adir, they rested from the fighting and celebrated the miraculous

deliverance from their enemies. As related in the McGillan, I wouldn't be surprised if they

named this the Purimor, the one that we're experiencing now with Iran. As related to the

McGillan, the people of Shushan were all allowed an extra day to fight their oppressors and did

not rest from their fighting and celebrated the miraculous deliverance from their enemies

on the 15th day of Adir. When Mordech and Esther, with the consent of the Antichristic

Dull and men of the Great Assembly, established the Festival of Purim for future generations,

they commemorated this event as well by dividing the celebration into two days. The 14th

day of the month of Adir, when the Jews throughout the Kingdom of Ahashwera's rested from

the fighting and celebrated the miraculous deliverance of their enemies, was established

The city of Shushan, however, the walled city and certain other cities celebrated on the 15th

day. So we celebrated on the 14th day of Adir in Jerusalem, in Chevron, in Jericho, in

walled cities, they celebrated on the 15th. So it's like two days of Purim. Here, Shihim

Mukhaf-e-Schama, Mimos Yushu Abinun, a city that was surrounded by a wall from the days of

Joshua, Yushu Abinun, even if it is not walled today. Korin, Baba Hamish, also, they read the

McGill on the 15th day. We're low, Shri Khi, we've been in a scene, however, it is uncommon in

our country. It's not 9 in Poland and not New York, and definitely not in Houston, we're not

referring to our cities, but only those of the land of Israel. My dear friends, congratulations,

this concludes 741-41, Semen Kuf Mem Alif, and now we are opening the floor to your questions

with Ask Away number 35. My dear friends, have a magnificent week. Please join us on the next

broadcast. We're going live in a couple minutes. You've been listening to Rabbi Arya will be on

a podcast produced by Torch, the Torah Outreach Resource Center of Houston. Please help sponsor

an episode so we can continue to produce more quality Jewish content for our listeners around the

globe. Please visit Torchweb.org to donate and partner with us on this incredible endeavor.

Thank you, Rabbi. I understand there's a fundraiser going on. Why would listeners want to

donate to Torch versus other organizations? So a very, very good question, very valid question.

I want to tell you something like this, okay? Torch is here for one reason. Torch is here to share

the word of Torah with the world. Any one of you listeners out there listening on a podcast,

listening in a video, last year alone, our videos grew, our video exposure grew 295%.

If I told you that there was an investment in the stock market that is going to grow 295%,

everyone would invest. I am telling you, my dear listeners, that last year our YouTube videos alone

grew 295% by our viewership. Our podcast, there are many podcasts that grew by well over 200%

as well. This is a great investment. I really believe so. I really feel this in my bones.

I know myself that I keep a very meticulous log of all of our videos. Last year in 2025,

we published 1092 videos. I don't know about you, but I think that's a lot of videos.

To me, it's an exceptional privilege to be able to teach and learn Torah together with

so many amazing people, not only you here in the room and those of you on Zoom every day,

but also those listening on the podcasts and those of you watching live online or later online,

a video on demand and we're on all these different platforms. It's all because we have a foundation

here in Houston, Texas, where we learn, teach from our torch center and share that Torah with the

world. That's just one component. We have the torch center. We have our torch media. We also have

torch wood, which is a torch community with now 15 families, robust programming for the men,

for the women, for the children, every chauvinist. There's over 100 people there for kiddish and

for davening. It's unbelievable. We'll go on over there and then we have our newest young professional

division, our unify. It's just unbelievable the things that are going on and what we're trying to do

is really open up for people one time a year where we ask everyone to invest in torch.

This is a time getting on the ground floor because the midst of us that we're trying to do,

we cannot do without the support of the community. That's through honest truth. I don't say it as a

cliche. Oh, we're partners. I really, we cannot do it. We can keep these lights on. We can't record.

We can't have these cameras. We can't do the broadcasting. We can't do any of this without the

support of our partners. And therefore, this one week that you have, you can go to givetorch.net,

givetorch.net and contribute. Every dollar that you contribute is matched by donors.

The entire week, the campaign will be up till we reach our goal because this is our budget for

the year. We do everything we can to not stop even a single program to raise money. We continue.

All of our classes will be on our Monday lunch and learn will be on our Monday night,

Mr. Mondays will be on our Tuesday morning classes will be on Tuesday night classes.

Wednesday and everything is on because that's why we're here. We're here not to raise money. We're

here to teach Dora. So if y'all would be so kind and generous and support us, we'll be able to

end this campaign just like they did for the temple, right? What would happen to the temple?

They said enough enough donations. I'm ready to do the same. Please help us, my dear friends.

Givetorch.net. Givetorch.net. Thank you, Mark. I appreciate your question.

Now I want to talk about giving to Torch. Okay. We are so blessed that God has given us.

And it's not just for us. It's for the whole world. As a matter of fact, our choice being chosen

is to be a light to the nations to bring Torah to everyone. Okay. They don't have to all do the

commandments. But this is, as you have often said, the owner's manual for living and for those of

us who grew up at a time where a good Jewish education was not available to us. Now there's a little

bit here, a little bit there. I am so grateful that I get to come here four times a week.

But more importantly, as a good friend of mine once said, if you could learn everything from a video

or a book, there would be no universities. And here at Torch, not only can you come and participate,

but even if you can't come, we take people on Zoom who ask questions. And I don't know any other

organization where you can't, you can actually participate long distance with a rabbi. So studying

Torch is like trying to eat an elephant. You do it one bite at a time. How do you learn Torah

one bite at a time? And that's what you give to us. And for all of you out there, not only is this

invaluable. You couldn't put a dollar value on it. But in addition to that, it's always free.

And the only way it is always free is if you help provide the funds that we need,

with they only ask once. You go to some places every single week. They pass the pot and try to get

money out of you. But here they wait once a year. They don't bother you. They don't send out

a give me give me give me once a year. That's all we ask give Torch.net. All my friends are my

friends from class and my rabbis. They're my friends. That is my solicitation from y'all to please

contribute. Give Torch.net. Thank you for letting me speak. Supporting Torch is one of the best things

you could possibly do. It will change your life. Jewish, not Jewish. Being part of Torch will

inspire you. We'll teach you life lessons and we'll give you all the tools you need to be successful

in life, marriage, family, and all areas of your life. Support Torch if you can. We thank you very

much. I know with confidence that the Almighty will succeed our way and we will raise all the money

we need to continue to operate. But I want you to be part of it. And if you can please,

whatever donation amount, the smallest, the largest, it doesn't make a difference. I want you as

a partner. If you can please go to give Torch.net and donate so that you can be a partner in what we're

doing. I'd greatly appreciate it and I hope you enjoy this episode.
