Timing of Megillah reading 

The Rav Name: Rabbi Boaz Yurkowitz

Shalom. We have to listen to Megillah twice. If someone can’t do it twice and can only listen to one, which one would be more important to listen to day or night and why? Thanks.

There are two aspects to going to the Mikveh: 1. Immersion in accordance with the ruling of Ezra HaSofer, which is done in case there was nocturnal emission, and is therefore very important. 2. Immersion for the sake of additional purity, and for this purpose if you have difficulty in going, you can say Mishnayot from Seder Taharot.
