The Binyan Tzion, questions if you are Yotzei the Mitzva of Mishloach Manos if you bring it yourself, since Mishloach implies that you must send it with a Shaliach. Others like the Eishel Avrohom and Rav Shlomo Kluger hold that you are certainly Yotzei if you bring it personally. Sending it is a leniency that the Anshei Knesses HaGedola allowed. Moreover you ...

Even though it seems everyone thought it was A joke it seems the SHUT Halachos Katanos חלק ב' סימן קס''ג found it to be a serious question he adresses not only money but Clothing and Keilim (Kesus Vkailim)and says in a last case scenario where you can sell the item received for (Clothing) or use it to pay for food (Money) right away for the Purim Seudah it ...

Rama (the Mapa) 695:4 says (all translations are my own, and you shouldn't rely on their accuracy): And a woman is obligated in matanos laevyonim (gifts to paupers) and mishloach manos (the sending of foods) like a man, and a woman should send to a woman and a man to a man but not vice versa so that he not come to send to a widow and they come under a ...

Hot dogs. The perishibility of the hot dog implies immediacy of eating, which complies with (at least) the T'rumas Hadeshen's opinion that the manos should actually contribute to the s'uda. Hot dogs are also compact and durable enough to be packed and walked around the neighborhood, and are substantial meal-worthy food that (ironically) are still delicious ...

Regarding sending to other family members even if you do not know them - see Shaalos UTshuvos Tshuvos VHanhogos Chelek 1 Siman 692:44 by Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch that you can not give to other family members if you do not know them. However Rabbi Dovid Feinstein (quoted by Rabbi Avrohom Aba Freundlich) has Paskened that you may. Regarding if someone shows up ...

There is no consenus on this matter, and there isn't even concensus on the basics of your question. It would seem that according to some, even raw meat, which the Mishna says is not allowed, is allowed by some people, because it can still be cooked before the Seudah. Based on the answer linked above, it seems to suggest that any food whatsoever is ...

Within reason, having a few of those little grape juice bottles on hand comes in handy for travel and the like. There was a woman where I grew up who made miniature carrot kugels for everyone. They were good, and well-received. We have implemented an extreme version of your query - send "We donated in your honor." cards to a bunch of people, and send a ...

Some cute, small, ready-to-eat ideas that I've received and enjoyed: Strawberries and cream (finished before it made it through the door :) ) Loaf of Italian bread and butter (helped that it was delivered in the morning around breakfast time ;) ) Fruit platter Homemade pizza (I don't remember what the second food was in this one)

Nitei Gavriel Purim 58:1 brings in the name of the Rosh Yosef and others that by meat it is 2 portions so long they are from different parts of the animal, since they have different tastes. He brings from the Shaalos U'Teshuvos Sheeris Yehuda 93 that it can even be from the same part of the animal so long it is 2 portions It seems to me from the language of ...

From Aish.com: May two or more people send jointly? Yes, but the package should contain the correct quantity for each of the senders. See there for some other caveats and conditions.

The mitzvah is to have two different foods. If you make them foods of different brachas then you can be sure that they are certainly 'different' from each other even if you aren't an expert in the Shulchan Aruch. Having one be a food and one be a drink would also work (even if they are both shehakol). Meat from two different kinds of animals would also work, ...

I did not see this anywhere, however I think what I am going to say is true. The Gemara in Megila 7a-7b (translation courtesy of Artscroll) says as follows: R' Yehuda Nesiah sent to R' Oshaya the thigh of a calf born third to its mother and a bottle of wine. ... Rabbah sent with Abaye to Mari bar Mar a basket filled with dates and a cup filled with the ...

Mishloach Manos is a Purim-day mitzvah. There's talk about asking a proxy in advance to deliver them on Purim day for you, which should probably be okay. Matanos L'Evyonim should either: Be received so the poor person can have/use it on Purim. Be set aside by the giver on Purim. You're not supposed to give matanaos l'evyonim too long before Purim, as ...
