Mitzvas Yom 14 and Yom 15 (Hilchos Megilah v'Chanukah 2:14)

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length: 20 minutesSynopsis: This afternoon (2/21/23), in our Rambam Bekius mini-shiur, we began our review of Hilchos Megilah. Since we only have (בג"ה) seven sessions of Rambam Bekius before Purim, and since we wanted to examine the halachos of the mishteh and matanos la'evyonim, we figured it would be good to start with the halachos about the days of Purim as ymei mishteh v'simchah. Today we read the first halacha, along with some other cross-references, and our goal going forward will be to move forward - to put the "bekius" back in "Rambam Bekius."-----מקורות:רמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר זמנים, הלכות מגילה וחנוכה א:א,ד-ה; ב:ידרמב"ם - משנה תורה: ספר שופטים, הלכות אבל יא:ג -----The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by Sarah and Moshe Eisen, with the following message: "Dedicated in honor of Popo, who shined bright and brought joy to so many of us.
