KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA

1. If there aren't "10" (minimum 6 or 7 people) fasting in shul on Ta'anit Ester, the minyan cannot take out a Sefer Torah to read Parashat VaYachel (passage that is read on fast days). Also the Chazan/Shaliyach Tzibur does not say "Anenu" as an extra Bracha when saying Amida out loud, rather says it in the middle of Shma Kolenu.
2. On Lel Purim (night of), we enter the Beit HaKnesset to listen to the Megillah wearing Shabat/Yom Tov attire to remember the times of Mordechai and Ester as it says in the Megillah: "VaTalbesh Ester Malchut" and "U'Mordechai Yatza BeLebush Malchut." Before Tefillat Arvit we say the Mizmor (perek from tehillim) "Al Ayelet HaShachar," which relates to Purim. In Tefillat Arvit of Purim, we add "Al HaNisim" after Modim, even if the Tefillah is said before Tzet HaKochavim (which is when Purim actually begins).
