Question
Hello, There is a well-known custom of reciting the Book of Psalms on the night of Purim. When is the night of Purim for the people of Jerusalem?
Answer
Hello and happy Purim
The true Purim in Jerusalem is on Shabbat.
On Shabbat, it is permitted to recite Psalms and make spiritual requests, but not material ones.
If you wish to make material requests, you can perform this custom on Thursday night.
Please note that the time to recite Psalms and other written Torah is from midnight onwards, except on Friday night, when some say the entire night is permitted for written Torah.
