    Episode 37: Season 2, Episode 9: V'nehapachu! Our Purim Torah & Wine Episode!
    Feb 26 2026

    With Purim approaching next week, Kenny and Rabbi Bernath delve into the idea of drinking wine on Purim.

    Halakhic Perspectives
    Purim Night vs. Purim Day
    Types of Wine we Drink on Purim
    Purim vs. Pesach Wines

    We rely on Rabbi Bernath's rabbinic knowledge and discuss some beautiful ideas of what makes Purim special and how we consider "ad delo yada" and drinking wine until one cannot distinguish between "Arur Haman" (cursed is Haman) and "Baruch Mordechai" (blessed is Mordechai).

    But first we discuss our mutual visits and dinners with Ya'acov Oryah of Pinto Winery and Ya'acov Oryah wines.

    We are always thrilled to hear from our listeners. Our listener poll this week:

    Do you drink more at the:

    Pesach Seder?
    Purim Seudah?

    A Freilichin Purim!
