- Q.. Would a sign or notice placed in a shul, announcing that the "partzufim" or masks, and other Purim disguises and attires left in shul, will be considered as “hefker” or abandoned and to be disposed of by the shul, then permit others to use them?
A. Firstly one should consult with the shul people in charge if they agree. Then, indeed if expressed properly and clearly, it would have that effect.
The times for the enactment should also be clearly publicized.
See next question.
