FAQs
Is a printed megillah kosher for the chiyuv?
Most poskim: no — must hear from a kosher-written megillah. Printed is for reading along.
How much for matanos l'evyonim?
Minimum is two matanos to two aniyim, any meaningful amount. Heimish minhag: a few hundred dollars. We partner with a tzedakah in Eretz Yisroel.
Can I commission a custom megillah?
B"H yes — 6–12 month lead. Email sofrim@judaicasquare.com.
