Question
Is there a mitzvah to rejoice and have a meal on the 15th of Adar for those who do not live in Jerusalem?
Answer
There is a mitzvah to rejoice and have a meal on this day even for those who observe Purim on the 14th (the rest of the world), and it is not necessary to eat bread specifically. However, in a year when Purim is close to Shabbat, one should not have a large meal after midday.
