When do I wish Purim Sameach to our Ramot brethren? I have close relatives in Ramot, so I for real need an answer to this question. This is not academic for me, but for real.
Is the Rabbi who told them to keep the 14th after an unequivocal Pesak from the Chief Rabbinate and from Rav Yitzchok Yosef a Zokein Mamrei Chas veSholom?
יום כפורים the midrash says that Yom Kippur is like Purim. They are both Kabolas Hatorah and they are both a time of forgiveness. Purim is greater it is a time of joy because we accepted the Torah willingly and we were saved but Yom Kippur also can be a tine of joy even if we fast. We fast on Yom Kippur falling on shabbos because forgiveness is our oneg shabbos.
