Episode 8 - Gal Keidan and R’ Achiad Ettinger hy’d, Mali’s Mailbag and Purim Drinking

In this episode we begin (0-8:45) by mourning the loss of Gal Keidan and R’ Achiad Ettinger hy’d who were murdered at Tzomet Ariel on Sunday and we reflect on the bonds of unity that is felt when events like these occur. We then transitioned to our Mailbag section (08:45-22:45) where Mali addressed the topic of halachic change and surrendering to the halachic will in response to remarks made in our previous episode. We concluded (22:45-60:40) with a lengthy discussion about prevailing halachic interpretations and approaches towards drinking on Purim during which we considered a number of factors why there have been observable and recorded shifting attitudes with respect to drinking on Purim.
