Q&A: Thank You
Thank You
Question
In honor of Purim, I wanted to say a big thank-you to Rabbi Michi. Without a doubt, the Rabbi has changed my views and the way I look at life in every area of life whatsoever. I’m deeply grateful that I discovered the site and was exposed to your views.
And so that we technically fulfill the obligation of asking a question: is there an obligation to get drunk on Purim until one "does not know," etc.? Or is that an exaggeration, and it’s enough to drink a little? (And if someone doesn’t enjoy drinking, does he need to drink at all?)
Answer
Many thanks. I don’t think this is a halakhic obligation, but that is the custom. A slight buzz is enough (I usually don’t even get that far, due to a basic dislike of wine).
I knew you were a whisky man!
