REVEALING THE HIDDEN MITZVAH OF PURIM TZEDAKAH

Rabbi Frimmer – Friday Night Shabbat Sermon 5779 – During a Shabbat service with 2nd and 3rd grade families, the Pop-Up Choir, and Shabbat regulars, Rabbi Frimmer teaches on the “hidden” mitzvah of Purim tzedakah. How can the holiday of Purim move past cookies and costumes and teach us important lessons about generosity, dignity, and equality? Thanks to the congregants who shared answers and reflections to the following questions: What’s Purim all about? How much tzedakah are we commanded to give? Why do we wear costumes?
