How do you want your Purim to look? Is it really all about finding the best costumes, rushing around making deliveries, and ingesting insane amounts of food and drink? Or do you want your Purim to be different, special and meaningful?

> For a limited time, the Virtual Halacha Program is offering a free limmud in hilchos purim. This is for serious learners who want to see the sugya inside, with guidance and clarity. The VHP offers a digital platform that enables learning which is structured, yet flexible for a busy schedule.
