Matanos Levyonim

days for seudah and Matanos Levyonim, reason

distributed on Purim

don’t investigate qualification of a collector

Megillah reading predated but eulogies, fasts, and Matanos Levyonim permitted, separating shekalim

money may not be diverted by giver of taker

must use money for the meal of Purim

obligation fulfilled even on days when Megillah reading is predated

sent Rabbi Hoshayah Rabbah large food gifts understood as either Matanos Levyonim or mishloach manos

which days, which days not, reason
