Is it proper to hold the megilla with one's bare hands? Should we follow the minority opinion, when the minority of rabbis are smarter than the majority of rabbis? Purim morning, do we read twice, the last pasuk of the torah reading? In a leap year, when do we fulfil the mitzvos of Purim, when do we recite v'al hanisim, and when do we not recite tachanun? Is the megillah reading of the day more important than the night reading? Do we recite a shehechiyanu for both readings? Who were the asara batlanim? When was the gezeira instituted to not read the megillah on Shabbos? Why was the gezeira based on carrying four amos in a reshus harabim, but not on carrying from one reshus to another reshus? Which melachos require meleches machsheves? Why did the rabbis not prohibit milah on Shabbos because maybe someone may carry four amos in a reshus harabim?
