Is work permitted on Purim? |
[Edit] |
It is permitted to engage in the kinds of labor that are prohibited on the Sabbath and festivals, i.e., traveling, writing, using electricity, cooking, etc., especially for the purpose of performing a mitzva or enjoying the day.
It is strongly discouraged, however, to treat Purim as a normal workday, and it is written that one who engages in such labor will not derive benefit from it (Shulchan Aruch 696:1).
