Hilchos Purim

Is it true if I miss even one word of the megilla I’m not yotzei?

I’m embarressed to say this but two yrs ago I came late to megilla and some guy was like just come in quick, so I just stayed. I felt kinda guilty after

i think if you miss a few words during the reading you can say it for yourself (doesn’t have to be from a claf.) majority does have to be heard from a claf, though.

i think that’s correct.

doesnt work for the begining but if you miss a word because of overly enthusiastic children then you can read it to yourself I think its 51% that has to be really heard.

moish, I’m impressed (almost as much as your defining my name from google even though you were a little off 🙁 did you brag to joseph yet? 🙂

good point did you humiliate yourself in front of joseph then? jk and I repeat, I am impressed because its a very random thing, once a year…

The chiyuv to start hilchos Pesach starts 30 days before, during Purim.

anonymisss, no clue I probably said it to myself. I was a little kid, thought I had better things to do tanis esther night.

I really feel bad bout it though but k good I definately heard most of the megilla.

51% has to be read from the klaff but every word must be read/heard. Also it cannot be read out of order so if you missed the beginning you can’t read it to yourself after the leining. I hope there is a second reading in your area and this doesn’t create problems for you.
