Updated Homework Information

There are four recent assignments that must be turned in as soon as possible by each of you (or one for a group, where applicable)

1) Parashat K'doshim Questions - there are three of them - see postings below from Feb. 5 & 12

2) Rambam Halakha 1 Question: Answer in a paragraph:
What it is about tz'dakah giving that caused Rambam to say that the fulfillment of this mitzvah requires the most care of any of the mitzvot?

3) The 4 Mitzvot of Purim (this was done in class)
Read through chapter 9 of the the Book of Esther and list the verse number for the 3 mitzvot of Purim that are explcitly listed there. The 4th one, related to the Megillah, is not there explicitly. So, as #4, what is the 4th mitzvah related to the megillah?

4) Rambam Halakhah 2 Questions: (this was in class today)
a. What does it mean to become "impoverished throught the giving of tz'dakah?"
b. Is anyone exempt from giving tz'dakah?
c. What does the halakha say about the impact of refusing/failing to give tz'dakah has on one's reputation?
