Question
Is it necessary to have a small feast and joy on the night of Purim Katan?
Answer
There is no need to have a feast and joy on the night of Purim Katan, as one who holds the Purim feast at night does not fulfill his obligation. (Megillah 7: Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 695). Although the responsa of Mahari Bruna states that one should rejoice also on the night of Purim, and the Rema (Siman 695) ruled that one should slightly increase the meal on the night of Purim, it seems that one should not be stringent about this also on Purim Katan, and it suffices to slightly increase the joy during the day.
