How would a find someone who can lein megilla with some shtick (acting different voices for different characters, etc.) who can do it for a frum and not frum girls crowd?
Once someone at the Young Israel of Woodmere did a great leining in one of the smaller minyanim. Very animated with different voices for different characters and different tones depending on the scene.
Come to Ramat Bet Shemesh, and you’ll be treated to an incredible reading, sound effects and a lot more 🙂
Where can I find someone to stomp on a sefer torah, and who will do it for a girls crowd?
Ouch
Okay, to follow Goq’s formula, I will explain that popa is not ch’v advocating degrading a sefer Torah. Aderaba, he is protesting thr bizayon haTorah involved in treating Krias Hamegillah as a cartoon.
Who is talking about bizayon Chas v’sholom? It makes the megillah come alive for the children in shul and holds their attention so they don’t carry on. I know VERY frum and choshuvah people who lein with such expression, and the leining was way more meaningful, and everyone hung on every word.
Is the Goq formula some sort of home remedy? Does it work for colds?
Right, cuz walking around drunk and serving booze to 13 year olds is a MUCH more respectful way to celebrate Purim. I get it.
Look for a girl.
and everyone hung on every word.
No pun intended 🙂

I mean, you’re comparing respect for purim to respect for the megilla itself, and the takanas chazal to read it publicly.
You can still make a point that you think getting drunk is disrespectful to the yontiff of purim itself and it’s mitzvos, and we’ll can discuss that. But I don’t think it’s immediately relevant to this.
Oh, well I do. Cuz when you read it in different voices you are still reading it. And you are making it easier for people to attend (depending on your audience). If you want to tell me it MUST be read in the trop, that is a different story. But I would be surprised because most of the 25 minute reads I attend are just reading.
And it makes it easier for me to listen to torah leining if the baal koreh wears a clown suit and scratches his armpits like a monkey whenever he mentions the names of any of the avos.
Sure, you are yotzei leining even if you do it in funny voices. But isn’t it a bizayon?
Are you pretending that that was an appropriate comparison?
No.
Am pretty sure that I remember a mispalel by R’ Avigdor Miller ztz”l telling me that this is how megilah was lained there.
PBA: Purim is a day where things that are often considered disrespectful become okay. Don’t ask me why. It just is.
Sam, we lain the Torah on Purim, too. What about then? Do we really spread open the Torah in the kindergarten so that the kids can feel closer to it?
V’gilu bir’ada.
If you behave that way, the little kids will learn a lot from you. It’s something worthwhile for them to see. Maybe not as much fun in the moment as listening to all those funny voices, but it may just work out better in the long run.
My kids’ father and grandfathers never croaked like frogs for them at the Seder or sang maoz tzur with them in rap, (but they all Leined Megillah beautifully and respectfully) and none of them went OTD.
Vegilu Bir’ada is a pertinent quote. I’m not sure its implication is what you inferred.
Sorry Golfer. I somehow misunderstood your point. You said it wonderfully well.
Stomp on a Sefer Torah!! C’mon, you need to find a nicer way to say that something is inappropriate!

Here you have a thread where people are advocating actually being mevazeh mitzvos and part of tanach, and your issue is my analogy?
