On Purim, we’re told to drink until we “can’t tell the difference” between cursed is Haman and blessed is Mordechai—but are we in fact obligated to do so? Does this apply to everybody? What about women and children? In this episode, Dr. Sharon Grossman and Chana Even-Chen explore what the halakhic texts say about getting drunk on Purim and whether 'L'Chaim!' is for all.
