I see though that you are a chossid, so you probably wouldn't even eat from that mashgiach.

I don't really think that that's the Purim spirit at all. Purim is about accepting the Torah out of love and being truly בשמחה about that and our salvation from the hands of our enemies.
Unfortunately, I think people have decided that Purim is all about tasteless humor and getting away with that which they can't during the rest of the year.

which part is tasteless?
purim is "venahapoch hu," seems like the OP's idea is a "twist" on that.
tasteless is getting drunk and vomiting all over someones lawn. or saying, hey, its purim, my chance to dress up as a slut and my husband will dress as a pimp! its like... lets act out our greatest desires (dressing provocatively, getting drunk) under the guise that its mutar, and hope people will think its a "joke."
this is "harmless" - bacon bits? "animal" crackers, etc with kids dressing up as corresponding non kosher animals - little piggy, bear, etc? which part is tasteless pls do explain??

ונהפך הוא has nothing to do with pretending that you're giving people non-kosher food. It has to do with us being saved and dominating our enemies, with Hashem's help.
Animal crackers with animal costumes is cute, it's an animal theme. A theme that mocks Torah values and laws, even if it's all kosher, yeah yeah, is not appropriate.
Obviously there aren't halachos about this. I am giving my opinion.

So why is dressing like a "slut or pimp" like amother mentions any different from this? They are both against what Torah stands for. ונהפך הוא isn't about doing things against your Torah lifestyle. It's about positive from negative, NOT negative from positive.

I just keep picturing kids dressed up as a bunch of pigs on Purim.
Can you imagine being the proud mama?
Oink.

Never mind...I edited this. ..let's just say I can not for the life of me believe the amother was serious about this theme...that's probably why she posted anon...

um, not to go off topic but I'd like to address this. I used to not do themes, then I started doing themes. why? cuz its cheaper, thats why. if you'd like to know how, let me know, I'll start another thread on it. btw, I fyou spend as much on matanos l'evyonim as you do on mm, are you also makpid to spend as much on matanos l'evyonim or mm as you do on the seuda? just curious. |
well, I do.
but I would love to hear how themes comes out cheaper.

Mimivan,
I got kinda in trouble for implying that someone sounded like a troll over on the "I must be lazy thread". Course the person I accused wasn't anonymous like here...

There is something deep about a MM filled with things that look treif but aren't (bacos, surimi, etc) it could be a reminder to look inside of something and not judge by the externals. That is nice.
I couldn't dress DC up as pigs though.
