Question
I live in Achisamach, Lod, where it is customary to celebrate Purim on both the 14th and 15th. I want to be in Bnei Brak to only be obligated for Purim on the 14th without the walled city Purim. From when do I need to be in Bnei Brak and until when?
Answer
Hello,
To be certainly considered 'unwalled', you must be in a place that is definitely unwalled from before sunset on the night of the 14th until dawn on the 14th. Additionally, this must be your intention and decision for the night.
[Excluding someone who intended to return home at night but was delayed in the unwalled area until morning].
