when is the megillah read?
We seem to have started Purim early.
That is. There was the Fast of Esther, and some resultant light-headedness and silliness. Then there was Purim Kiddush, and then Megillah reading while I was finishing up work. There were also silly songs and minor quantities of rugelach. A splendid chazan's robe also featured, actually because of the snow causing wet trousers, but it certainly added to the festivities.
Why? Well, the Mishnah says the Megillah is read on the 11th, the 12th, the 13th...
