Megillah leining

[SSLPhD]

Can people please post "at risk"-friendly megillah leinings?  All frum communities (I'll try to wikify if relevant), but I'm looking for NYC area.

Make your own. I'll be laining for my parents.

NYC is a big place. In Flatbush, YI of Midwood and YI of Avenue J have been very strict with SD and masks since reopening. I would expect the same for Purim, probably with additional readings to spread the crowds out even further.

At first, I interpreted "at risk" as alcohol-free which is especially fitting during the shloshim of R' Avraham Twerski ztl but from the first few comments I think it is more covid related. Nevertheless, it would not be a bad thing to have suggestions for megillah readings without drinking present.

[Ergel]

There are megillah readings with drinking present?

Readings in frum communities have alcohol? At night the fast hasn't been broken yet, and by day it's done at Shacharis when even people haven't quite started drinking yet. If you're talking about alcohol-free readings for people not hearing the Megillah in frum communal settings, this probably isn't the right forum.

In Monsey this is a good option:

Bais Torah on the Shaarei Torah campus. Close to forshay.

IME, many people hear megillah right before the seudah during the day. Irrelevant to the OP, either way.

Other than teenagers that are hung over from drinking the first night, why would someone not hear megillah at shachris?

I'm not about to judge, question, or analyze anyone's religious observance. I'm just saying that this has been the reality in quite a few places I've been.

Wait, one second, no alcohol before shachris?

Not unless you make mezonos on it or are hiding something in your coffee

You can read the Megillah from a Chumash at home

Good for a zecher, but not to be yotzei.
But if you can borrow a real megillah you can be yotzei by reading the words even without trop.

You’re right, my bad

You're pretty talented if you can be sure to read all the words correctly without any Nikud.

You can add the Nikud - does not pasul

True.
Quite a job.
Someone once paid my brother to do that (or maybe he wanted the טעמים). It took hours and hours.

75% of the megillah, most people know the nikud. If you look it over a few times, you should be able to get it almost perfect. And if the wife has a chumash, that should bring it to 100%.
