โ€œAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ€ (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 โ€œcustomโ€ of making fun or embarrassing others, even oneโ€™s rabbis, on Purim should be abolished, and certainly not practiced.[5]
