Q. We have a minhag that on the Purim Seuda during the normal time we invite the complete family and their children, as well as many guest that don’t have where to be for the seuda.
In this particular pandemic scary days. we are planning to do a Zoom Purim Seuda, providing not only the communication means for those guest that don’t have them, but also packages of food for a full seuda for those invited. Although, it is a substantial expense, my wife and I consider that it is really worth it to be mezkeh those in need also.
What is Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion? Does one comply with the Seuda’s mitzva when offered and shared by zoom? Can you also comply with Shalach Monos at the same time?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is indeed not only acceptable in our difficult days, but also recommendable to do so.
The Rov maintains that you can comply with the mitzva of Shalach Monos also at the same time.
