Question

What cities other than Jerusalem, if any, celebrate Purim on the 15th of Adar?

Answer

Jerusalem is the only city that celebrates Purim only on the 15th of Adar. Several other cities celebrate on 14th and 15th since there is a doubt of their status. This includes Tiberius, Yafo, Acco, and Hebron.

Forgiveness

A must-watch story to inspire your heart this Yom Kippur, revealing how sincere forgiveness opens the way for Hashem to forgive us in return. This moving tale illustrates the power of teshuva, the depth of divine compassion, and how our efforts to seek and grant forgiveness can transform our lives and bring true spiritual renewal.

Teshuva: Don't Expect a One-Shot Deal

Teshuva: Don't Expect a One-Shot Deal

Yom Kippur is less than a week away, and for many of us, its approach is cause for unease and disquiet. Precisely during this period of the holy High Holidays, poisonous doubts creep into our thoughts and hearts: "Last year I asked forgiveness for my sins and errors; I prayed from the depth of my heart; I promised myself I would not fall into the same traps – and behold, it didn't work! So what's the point of all my teshuva [commitment to return to one's true inner self]? Will anything be different this Yom Kippur than last time or the time before?"

"If a person travels from one location to another during a fast day, is he governed by the halachic timeframes (e.g., sunset, nightfall) of the place where he began the fast, or those of the place where he finds himself at the time of conclusion? And what if he has already broken the fast?"
