DAF DISCUSSIONS - MEGILAH 19

Joshua Danziger asks:

Hello kollel! Gmar chatima tova.

If a person is yotzei Purim in his location, reading in the village on an early day or in todays era maybe a non yerushalmi spending shushan purim in Jerusalem, is he chayav again in the mitzvahs? Could he read the megillah for others for example on shushan Purim?

Thank you.

Josh

The Kollel replies:

Hi Josh,

There are many opinions in this Sugya, some are more complicated than others, all in Masechet Megilla 19a.The Yerushalmi seems to say that there is a possibility to have two days of Purim, and there are different opinions how to understand this.

It seems to me you are asking a Halacha le'Maase question. The Poskim argue what case the Yerushalmi is talking about. In responsa Har Tzvi (2, 119) he explains that the Yerushalmi is only talking about a person who actually moved to a Kerach, at the end of the fourteenth of Adar, or in a case that he lives already in a Kerach, but he is visiting a Paruz city. The Minchas Shlomo (1, 23) argues and says that the Yerushalmi is reffering to any person who is on the fourteenth of Adar in a Paruz city, and on the fifteenth in a Mukaf city, no matter where he actually really lives.

Best Regards,
