KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT MUVTACH LO SHEHOO BEN HAOLAM HABA

1. Some say that even though women are obligated in the Mitzvah of Kriyat HaMegillah, they do not fulfill the obligation for other people. Some disagree and say women can BUT even though the Halacha stands that they can fulfill the obligation for other people by reading it themselves, it is better to follow the first opinion and only have women read for everyone in a time where only the woman can read.


2. The reader of the Megillah on Lel Purim says 3 brachot: "Al Mikrah Megillah," "She Asa Nisim," and "Shehecheyanu." On Yom Purim, one does not say the bracha of Shehecheyanu before the Megillah reading. One should have in mind to add in the intent to fulfill the Mitzvot of Mishloach Manot and Seudat Purim when saying Shehecheyanu at night. If someone forgot to say the Bracha of Shehecheyanu and/or the other 2 brachot, he should say the brachot at the moment where he realized he forgot during the reading itself. If he already finished reading the whole Megillah, then on Yom Purim (the day of Purim, in the morning), he should add in Birkat Shehecheyanu since its the 2nd reading. If one did say all the Brachot because he read in shul for everyone, he CAN say Birkat Shehecheyanu again at home [if he is reading for his family who haven't heard yet].
