mordecai98: Let the JPost first editorialize that all soldiers be required to attend yeshiva when they are off-duty.
Its true most shmorgs are seperate, but unfortunately many men mix into the women’s section.
SM: You miss the essential point. Most guys who don’t get drunk ad dlo yoda also do not take a Purim afternoon nap. Sure you may know someone who did go to sleep Purim afternoon, but I’m sure you also know many who did not.
How is it any different than the Choson holding the Kallah’s hand when walking away from the Chupa (as some Litvaks do)?
That is also in public.
OP: Why are you looking for heteirim? The halacha is to get drunk. Unless someone is physically ill or unable to get drunk, he should get drunk on Purim until reaching the state of ad dlo yoda.
Of course there are heterim like going to sleep, etc. (And, really, do you know anyone who didn’t get drunk that went to sleep on Purim day? Ah nechtinge tug. They don’t go to sleep Purim afternoon.) But why look for heteirim? Do the mitzvah as it should be done, as Klal Yisroel has done it for thousands of years, and how the vast majority of poskim have ruled over the centuries.
L’Chaim!
