קְרִיאַת הַמְּגִלָּה

THE RECITATION OF THE MEGILLAH

On Purim the Megillah is read twice—once at night, and once during the day.
Prior to the reading, the Megillah is unrolled and folded into three, and the reader recites the following three blessings. Those who listen to the reading respond אָמֵן, bearing in mind that they fulfill their obligation through the reader. By day, intend that the blessing of Shehechiyanu also covers the remaining Purim mitzvos: distributing charity, gifts of food, and partaking of the festive meal.
Hebrew
