Question

I have a question regarding the Triple Purim this year. I want to be in Beit Shemesh (as in unwalled cities) on Friday and Shabbat, and I want to hear the Megillah reading on the night of the 14th in Jerusalem, and then go to Beit Shemesh. Is this correct or not?

Answer

Hello Rabbi

Regarding the reading of the Megillah, it is possible. Since this year the obligation to read for everyone is on the 14th.

However, for another reason, it is not appropriate,

because a person who is in Jerusalem on the eve of Purim, according to some opinions, is not obligated to observe Purim on the 14th, even if later that night he is in unwalled cities.

And since on Shabbat you will be in Beit Shemesh, therefore you will not be obligated to observe Purim on the 15th.

Thus, it is possible that you have completely lost the obligation to observe Purim, and this is not appropriate.
