Notes:

• According to most of the Poskim, hearing Parshas Zachor on Shabbath before Purim is mandatory for both men and woman.
• As you know, hearing the Reading of Megilah is mandatory for both men and woman. It is also known, that if you missed one word from Megilah, you got to hear it over. Please make sure, that you will be able to hear it (use schedule above)
• Since the first Megilah reading is on Motzey Shabbath, the mitzvah of bringing Mechatzitah Shekel is prefrerably should be done in advance. Just to remind: you got to bring $1.50 CASH (not more, not less) for each member of household. To make people able to perform the Mitzvah, a set of coins will be available in our shul tonight after 8:30 PM. Since Reading of the Megilah is 15 min after Shabboth ends, it will be available there too. You got to ask a Rav about performing this mitzvah Sunday Morning.
• Since some people like to give Matanoth L'evyonim in advance, there a box will be provided for it. It will be there tonight, before Shabbath and during both Megilah Readings. Please deposit your money stuffed in an envelope, CASH ONLY

A Freilachen Purim!
