MELACHAH

1) Halachah, Minhag, and blessing -

Is work permitted on Purim? Is it recommended? Are there activities that certainly may be done or should not be done?

2) Rationale -

How can we explain conceptually, why Halachah permits Melachah on Purim?

3) The First Year -

The Megilah (9:19) tells us that in the year following the miracle, the people did observe 14 Adar as a "Yom Tov" - implying that they abstained from Melachah. What was their rationale?
