[Avodah] If M'gillah is Talmud Torah...

[Ariel Davis]

Tosafos on the issue of "mevatlin ha'avoda" to hear the megillah (3a) thinks
that mevatlin doesn't really mean mevatlin, rather that they don't do it in
the best way (in the case of avodah, it means they push off the time to
perform it). As the issue of mevatlin Talmud Torah for mikra megillah comes
directly from the issue of avoda, presumably we can make the same statement.
It's not really bitul torah, it's just not the best form of Talmud Torah.

All the best,
Ariel
