THIS Shabbat is 
Shabbat ZACHOR

Liturgy (Piyutim)

On certain
occasions piyutim are chanted during pesuqé dezimra:

On Shabat
Shira and the Seventh Day of Pesah the piyut "Ashira
keShirat Moshé
" is sung before Shirat haYam (The Song on the
Sea).

On Shabat
Zakhor
the piyut "Mi Khamokha" is chanted during Nishmat.

On Rosh
haShana
and Yom Kipur special piyutim are chanted after Shirat
haYam,
before Yishtabah, and between Yishtabah
and the Qadish. 

 

The
minhag of inserting piyutim into the prayers is actually quite ancient,
dating back at least to the times of Ribi Yehuda haLevi (c. 1000-1100 CE) who
penned the piyut "Mi Khamokha" for Shabat Zakhor
and instituted its recital in the middle of Nishmat Kol Hai.
Several Rishonim, among them the Ri miGash (d. 1141), the Rashba (d. 1310), and
the Radbaz (d. 1573), attest that this was the custom in their time, showing no
sign of disapproval. Nevertheless, this custom was met with sharp, repeated
critique by later halakhic authorities, all challenging the halakhic
basis for this custom, as it constitutes a forbidden interruption (hefseq)
in the prayers.

 

Though
Maran instructs in the Shulhan 'Arukh (O"H §68:1) that it
is best to refrain from including liturgy in the Blessings of Qeriat Shema',
he makes no mention of adding liturgy in Pesuqé deZimra. The determining
factor for allowing liturgy in Pesuqé deZimra is whether or not there
exists a prohibition to add praises or Tehilim to those instituted by the Sages
as Pesuqé deZimra. The Hida in Tub 'Ayin (§18:35) cites
the opinion of Ribi David Hayim Corinaldi in this matter, denouncing the
practice of those who reserved the recital of liturgy intended for Pesuqé
deZimra
(e.g. Ribi Yehuda haLevi's Mi Khamokha) until after the
repetition of the 'Amida; arguing that the Tur and Maran only took issue
with adding liturgy to the Blessings of Qeriat Shema'. The simple logic
behind Ribi Corinaldi's judgment seems to be that, since Pesuqé deZimra
were instituted as praises to G-d, additional praises, such as the piyutim,
should not be deemed an interruption therein. Still, the Hida rules that
liturgy may not be added to Pesuqé deZimra, explaining that these
praises were carefully arranged by the Sages in accordance with Qabala
and are thus strictly unchangeable.

Halachot from Maran Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Ztz'l    

מהלכות מקרא מגילה

כל אדם מישראל חייב בקריאת
המגילה ביום הפורים, וצריך לקרותה בלילה ולשוב ולקרותה ביום, שנאמר "אלהי,
אקרא יומם ולא תענה ולילה ולא דומיה לי". ופסוק זה נאמר בספר תהילים בפרק
"למנצח על אילת השחר" ואמרו בגמרא (יומא כ"ט
.) שאסתר נמשלה לאיילת השחר. ולכן מפרק זה אנו למדים
לענין המגילה שנכתבה על ידי אסתר המלכה יחד עם מרדכי היהודי, והם שתקנו לנו לקרותה
בימי הפורים
.

ומכל מקום מכיון שאין הכל
בקיאים בקריאת המגילה, וגם לא לכולם יש מגילה כשרה כתובה על גבי קלף, לכן אנו
נוהגים לצאת ידי חובת קריאת המגילה מדין "שומע כעונה", כלומר, מי ששומע
קריאת מגילה ממי שקורא אותה מתוך מגילה כשרה, יוצא ידי חובת הקריאה כאילו הוא קרא
בעצמו. לכן קורא השליח ציבור מתוך מגילה כשרה, והוא מכוין להוציא את כלל הציבור
ידי חובת הקריאה, וגם הציבור כולו צריכים לכוין לצאת ידי חובה בקריאתו, והרי זה
כמו שהם קוראים בעצמם ממש
.

ואין חילוק בין האנשים לנשים
לענין חיוב שמיעת קריאת המגילה, כי אף הנשים חייבות בקריאה זו כדין הנשים, שאף הן
היו באותו נס ההצלה שבימי מרדכי ואסתר, ועוד שהנס נעשה על יד אשה, היא אסתר. ואף
על פי שבקצת מקומות נהגו שהנשים אינן שומעות מקרא מגילה אלא בלילה, אבל ביום לא
היו שומעות. אין לנהוג כן, ומצוה לבטל מנהג זה שאין לו כל יסוד בהלכה, ובודאי
הונהג על ידי עמי הארץ שבאותם המקומות. וישתקע הדבר ולא יאמר. (טבעת המלך
).

בעת קריאת המגילה אסור לדבר
בשום עניין עד לאחר הברכה שבסוף קריאת המגילה. ואם השומע את הקריאה עבר ודיבר
דברים אחרים בעוד שהקורא ממשיך בקריאתו, לא יצא ידי חובתו, ודינו כדין מי שלא שמע
חלק מקריאת המגילה וכפי שיבואר להלן
.

צריך לדקדק היטב בקריאת המגילה,
ובפרט יש להזהר בזה בזמן ששומעים את השליח ציבור קורא במגילה, שלא לאבד אף מילה
אחת מן הקריאה במגילה, משום שלדעת רבים מהפוסקים, (ומהם הרשב"א והר"ן
ועוד), אם חיסר תיבה (מילה) אחת מהמגילה לא יצא ידי חובתו
.

ומכל מקום אם קרה לאדם שמחמת
איזה רעש וכדומה לא שמע כמה מילים מקריאת המגילה
, יכול לקרות את אותן המילים מתוך המגילה שבידו, אפילו
אם היא אינה מגילה כשרה אלא מגילה מודפסת, ויזדרז בקריאתו וימשיך עד מקום שהשליח
ציבור קורא בו, ואז ישתוק וימשיך לשמוע הקריאה מפי השליח ציבור. (ויוצא בזה ידי
חובתו
, כל זמן
ששמע לפחות את רוב קריאת המגילה מפי השליח ציבור, ורק מיעוט המגילה קרא בעצמו מתוך
המגילה המודפסת אשר בידו
).

אסור לאכול קודם קריאת המגילה,
ולפיכך, נשים שאינן יכולות לבוא בזמן התפילה לבית הכנסת לשמוע קריאת המגילה,
וממתינות עד שיחזרו האנשים מבית הכנסת, ורק אחר כך הן שומעות קריאת המגילה, צריכות
להזהר ביום פורים בבוקר, שלא לאכול עד אשר תשמענה בעצמן את קריאת המגילה. ומכל
מקום מותר לשתות קפה או תה או לטעום פירות קודם קריאת המגילה. וכן מותר לאכול אף
עוגה או פת פחות משיעור כביצה (שהוא שיעור חמישים וששה גרמים
).

והמחמירים שלא לטעום כלום קודם
מקרא מגילה, תבוא עליהם הברכה

Some Laws Regarding Megillah Reading

Every person in the Jewish
nation is obligated to read the Megillah on the day of Purim. One must read it
during the night and consequently read it again the next day, as the verse
states, “My G-d, I call out to you during the day and you do not answer; during
the night I have no rest.” This verse is written in the chapter of Tehillim
(Psalms) called “Lamnatze’ach al Ayelet HaShachar” and the Gemara in Yoma (29a)
refers to Queen Esther as the “Ayelet HaShachar”. Therefore, we learn out laws
from this chapter regarding the Megillah which was co-authored by Mordechai the
Righteous and Queen Esther since they were the ones to institute the reading of
the Megillah on the day of Purim.

However, since not everyone is an expert in Megillah reading along with the
fact that not everyone owns a kosher Megillah written on parchment, we
customarily fulfill our obligation of Megillah reading through the law of “one
who hears is like one who recites”. This means that one who hears another
reading from a kosher Megillah fulfills his obligation and it is as though he
has read the Megillah himself. Therefore, when the Chazzan reads from a kosher
Megillah while having in mind to read on behalf of the congregation and the
congregation has in mind to fulfill their own obligation as well, it is
considered as if they have actually read the Megillah on their own.

There is no distinction between men and women regarding the obligation to hear
Megillah reading, for women are just as obligated as men are since women were saved
in the same miracle during the days of Mordechai and Esther, in addition to the
fact that the miracle of Purim was brought about through a woman, namely, Queen
Esther. Although in some places it was customary for women to hear Megillah
reading only during the night but not during the day, one should not follow
this custom; this custom, which has no Halachic basis, should be nullified as
it was surely started by ignorant people. (Taba’at HaMelech)

During the time when the Megillah is being read, one may not interrupt by
speaking at all until after the blessing at the conclusion of the Megillah
reading has been recited. One who did indeed speak during Megillah reading
while the Chazzan carries on with the reading of the Megillah does not fulfill
his obligation, and his status is like one who missed a portion of the Megillah
reading, as will be explained later on.

One should listen carefully to the reading of the Megillah and one should
exercise special care not to miss hearing even one word from the reading of the
Megillah, for according to many Poskim (including the Rashba, Ran, and others),
if one misses hearing even one word of the Megillah, he has not fulfilled his
obligation.

However, if it happens that one missed hearing a few words of the Megillah
because of noise and the like, one may read those words from inside the
Megillah he is holding, even if it is not a kosher Megillah; rather, even if it
is a printed one, one should quickly read the words he missed until he reaches
the place where the Chazzan is currently reading, at which point he should once
again remain silent and listen to the Chazzan’s reading. (One will
satisfactorily fulfill his obligation as long as he has heard most of the
Megillah reading from the Chazzan and he has only read a minority of it on his
own from the printed Megillah in his hands).

One may not eat before Megillah reading. Therefore, those women who do not come
to hear Megillah at the time the congregation is praying in the synagogue and
wait for their husbands to come home from synagogue and only then do they go to
hear Megillah reading should be careful not to eat anything on Purim day until
they hear Megillah reading themselves. However, they may in fact drink tea or
coffee or taste some fruit before hearing Megillah reading. Similarly, one may
also partake of some cake or even some bread less than a Kebeitza (egg’s
volume, approximately 56 grams).

Those who are careful not to taste anything before Megillah reading are
especially praiseworthy
