INVITE KOHANIM TO PARTAKE IN PURIM FEAST - Yevamos 90 - Daf Yomi

It is brought in the name of the Arizal that one should invite Kohanim to partake in the Purim feast. The explanation is based on the Tikunei Zohar which states that Purim is similar to Yom Kippur. Just as the day of Yom Kippur provides atonement without eating and drinking, Purim provides atonement only through eating and drinking. Kohanim should be invited to partake in the Purim feast because the Gemora states that through the Kohanim’s eating, the owners will receive atonement.
