Purim is Comming

Haman told achasverosh that there is a people who is scattered among your nation. It was because there was no achdus in klal yisrael- we were a scattered people- that the bad decree could come about- to counteract this we give the gifts to increase rayus(friendship) as a tikon so that we should become united- Its best to give to people who are not your best friends.

Im trying to decide if I should go to Rabbi Lauer's daughter's wedding in Monsey. On the one hand I would go because it is kavod to Rabbi Lauer- On the other hand- If I wasn't there- I wouldn't be missed. We are hosting sheva brachos and I could be the punim chodosh . Mom is going to be in Israel then- Dr Last thinks Im justing trying to find reasons not to go- How do you vote- Should i go?

  • If you go to NY, will you eat anywhere good?

    If yes, then go. If no, then stay.

  • I strongly feel that unless you can't help it you shouldn't go near NY. (unless you are positive you will visit all the wonderful eateries).

  • i see a golden opportunity for us. you just have to think about what a nice drive it will be to monsey and what a nice flight it will be from providence!

  • I think you should go, and you should bring Ephraim with you (claims he never goes anywhere), and you should stay at my parents' house (half-hour from Monsey).

  • Also, on your Divrei Torah, if you don't give Mishloach Manot to your best friends this year, you'll be able to next year because they will not be your best friends anymore. So it works out.

  • Veev, that is an excellent suggestion and saves a ton on mishloach manot, just give the people you are in a fight with!
