THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS , Rabbi Arrested in Sabbath Riot TEL AVIV (JTA) — Petah Tikva's Chief Rabbi, Baruch Salomon, was ar- rested Saturday for al- legedly leading a mob of ultra-Orthodox Jews who broke into a restaurant that was open on the Sabbath. According to eyewitnesses, they broke furniture and doors, smashed crockery, glassware and windows. The incident was the third in as many weekends where Orthodox Jews re- sorted to violence to force the closure of places of busi- ness and entertainment. On Friday night they demon- strated outside the Heichal cinema in an attempt to prevent patrons from enter- ing. Police prevented a con- frontation with a group of secular youths who held a counter-demonstration against "religious coer- cion." Salomon was released shortly after his arrest and kept his promise to report to the police after the Sabbath. He was carried there on the shoulders of religious Jews. The police said he would be charged with trespassing and damage to property if sufficient evidence was ob- tained.

When Haman's name is mentioned, we twirl "graggers" and stamp our feet to "drown out" his evil name. Tell the children Purim is the only time when it's a mitzvah to make noise! Listen to the reading of the Megillah Sat- urday night, March 17, after Shabbat, and again on Sunday, March 18, during the day. Concern for the needy is a year-round re- sponsibility for the Jew On Purim, particu- larly, it is a special mitzvah to remember the poor. Give charity to at least two, but preferably more, needy individuals. The mitzvah is best fulfilled by giving directly to the needy. If, however, you can not find poor people, place at least several coins into"pushkas" — charity boxes. In the Megillah this mitzvah is called "Matonot LoEvyonim"— gifts to the poor. Even small children should fulfill this mitzvah. SEND gifts of food On Purim we emphasize the importance of Jewish unity and friendship by sending gifts of food to friends. Send a gift of at least two kinds of ready-to-eat foods, (for example, pastry, fruit, beverage) to at least one friend. It is proper that men send to men and women to women. In the Megillah sending these gifts is called "Mishloach Manot" and should be done through a third party. Children, in addition to sending their own gifts of food, make enthusiastic messengers. EAT the festive meal As on all festivals, we celebrate Purim with a special festive meal, when family and friends gather together to rejoice in the Purim spirit.
