"Know the four Precepts for Purim"
We have four Mitzvot (precepts) for Purim, established by the Sanhedrin (the great assembly) and the Prophets, these are:
1- Reading of the Megillah (Book of Esther)
2- Celebrate a festive banquet and Rejoice (Seudat Purim) We have the obligation to celebrate Purim during the day by means of a festive meal, with drink, wine (in moderation) in a atmosphere of rejoicing and praising the Creator for the great miracle.
3- Send as a gift edible portions (Mishloaj Manot). We are required to send at least two different edible gifts to a friend. This duty is also incumbent on women towards their friends.
4- Give gifts to the poor (Matanot la evionim) We also have the obligation to make donations to the poor. The more money or food is distributed the better. It should be spent on donations for the poor more than on the banquet itself that we celebrate, for there is no greater and nobler joy than to rejoice the poor, orphans, widows, and foreigners.
The Sages also ordered, later to read from the Torah the passage "And Amalek came ..." from the Parasha Veshalach, which relates the war against Amalek in the desert, and add the prayer of al hanisim in the prayer of Shmonah ezre, and the bircat hamazon, however, on Purim Hallel is not recited, since the reading of the Megillah constitutes by itself a form of Hallel (Praise to Hashem).
< br> It is forbidden to give funeral speeches and fast on both Adar 14 and 15, in all places, both open cities and walled cities like Jerusalem, who is in mourning cannot observe any of the mourning customs in public during these days, you can only observe the private aspects of mourning as you would on Shabbat.
Although it is not forbidden to work on Purim, doing so is considered inappropriate, the Sages said: "Whoever works on Purim will never see a sign of blessing from that job "
We wish you a Purim Sameach!
