Seudat Purim
From Halachipedia
Seudah
- One should increase in festivities on Purim but the obligation is to have one meal on the day of Purim. [1]
- The mitzvah of Seudat Purim is during the day and not the night, yet one should have simcha and a small meal (and make the meal of the day greater). [2] If Purim falls out on Motzei Shabbat and Sunday having Seudat Shelishit isn’t considered as having a small meal during the night of purim rather one should have a special meal for the sake of Purim. [3]
- The minhag is to have the Suedah after mincha and complete the majority of it before nightfall. [4] However, some say it’s preferable to be done in the morning. [5]
- The meal should be shared with friends and involve Divrei Torah. [6]
- If one began the meal on Purim and ate past nightfall, one should still mention Al HaNissim in Birkat HaMazon [7] unless one already said Maariv, in which case one shouldn’t say Al HaNissim and some say that one can say it. [8]
- If one forgot Al HaNissim in Benching one doesn’t repeat benching but if one remembers one should add it in the Harachaman’s by saying Harachaman Hu Yaaseh Lanu Nissim and continue with Al HaNissim. [9]
- A meal one has on purim without bread fulfills the obligation, but some say that one’s Suedah should be made with bread. [10]
- Some say that one should have meat at the Suedah. [11]
