Subject: Another Sin of Haman

Rabbi Bulka in v31n75 'explains' the error in calling haman-taschen
after haman. He shows we are giving honor to an evil person who tried to
destroy the Jewish people

As a baal koray I am also deeply upset about the custom of making noise
when Haman's name is mentioned. Indeed, if you miss a haman then you
have not fulfilled your obligation to read the Megillah!

I believe a consistent application of Rabbi Bulka's principle would
include a prohibition against this practice of making noise at haman's
name.

Any reactions (no noise please!)
