chilul Shabbos is much of the significance of the event.<br>

OTOH, if you really believe that 5 Iyyar is the anniversary of an event<br>
worthy of saying Hallel, that argument doesn't really workd for a moved<br>
date. My father's line of reasoning only makes sense to me for those<br>
who don't say Hallel.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Leshitat R Nahman that Kriat Megilla is instead of Hallel, why is Hallel on a moved date worse than Kriat Megilla on a moved date (as in the first Mishna of Megilla)?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Leshitat HaMe'iri, that the halacha is like R Nahman and therefore someone without a megilla should say Hallel on Purim, I wonder when they say Hallel when megilla is brought forward.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It's my belief that today our mindset is much more precise than Hazal's, witness the fuss some people make about exact measurement of shi`urim, or hanetz minyans who time themselves to the second by atomic clocks.
