I just came from the fastest megillah reading I’ve ever attended (and I’ve heard some fast ones). The baal koreh read incredibly fast. For those of you who used to live in Philly, think Shelly Stohl only without a pause between words, and with the chabad pronunciations whih don’t require enunciation of words. For those of you in Washington, Shelly Stohl made Andrew Jacobavics look slower than a mailman in a coma. Chabad also does not drown out the name of Haman unless his full name (Haman ben Hammedatha ha-Agagi), which doesn’t happen a whole lot. I didn’t look at my watch at the start, but we were done by 8:18, and I don’t think we started much before 8.
