For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel
For the Refua Shlema of Chai Yaakov ben Margalit shlit’a.
Taken directly from Rav Ovadya’s Halacha Yomit
(Halachayomit.co.il):
1. Every person in the Jewish nation is obligated to
read the Megillah on the day of Purim. One must read it during the night and
consequently read it again the next day, as the verse states, “My G-d, I call
out to you during the day and you do not answer; during the night I have no
rest.” This verse is written in the chapter of Tehillim (Psalms) called
“Lamnatze’ach al Ayelet HaShachar” and the Gemara in Yoma (29a) refers to Queen
Esther as the “Ayelet HaShachar”. Therefore, we learn out laws from this
chapter regarding the Megillah which was co-authored by Mordechai the Righteous
and Queen Esther since they were the ones to institute the reading of the
Megillah on the day of Purim.
2. However, since not everyone is an expert in
Megillah reading along with the fact that not everyone owns a kosher Megillah
written on parchment, we customarily fulfill our obligation of Megillah reading
through the law of “one who hears is like one who recites”. This means that one
who hears another reading from a kosher Megillah fulfills his obligation and it
is as though he has read the Megillah himself. Therefore, when the Chazzan
reads from a kosher Megillah while having in mind to read on behalf of the
congregation and the congregation has in mind to fulfill their own obligation
as well, it is considered as if they have actually read the Megillah on their
own.
