The Daily Halacha Moment - Getting Dressed On Purim 🎭
״כל השונה הלכות בכל יום - מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא״ (נידה עג ע״א, מגילה כח:)
“Anyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-come” (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
What is the custom of getting dressed on Purim?
Answer:
Some people have the custom to wear a costume on Purim.[1]
A man may not dress as a woman on Purim. [2]
One may not dress up as a priest on Purim.[3]
If one must pray with his costume, he may, but it should not cover his face. [4]
The “custom” of making fun or embarrassing others, even one’s rabbis, on Purim should be abolished, and certainly not practiced.[5]
