Question
As a listener from a reader, but with my own megillah, i have the next questions. 1) according to the halacha, the megillah needs to be folded as a letter in front of the crowd, so this is a reference to the reader in the bimah, so, also the mitpalelim who are in the shul and have a megillah must fold it as letter, or I can follow the reading in the "scroll" way.   2) If I need to fold my megillah, how I need to do it? I have a 11 rows megillah. Thank you.

Question
What is the holiness level of Rosh Chodesh? Seemingly it lies somewhere between an ordinary weekday and Shabbat/Yom Tov. On Shabbat, 39 activities are prohibited and Musaf is recited. On Yom Tov, most of those 39 activities are prohibited and Musaf is recited. On Rosh Chodesh, none of those 39 activities are prohibited, but Musaf is still recited. Where does that place Rosh Chodesh on the holiness scale?

Dear Rabbi, I saw that you (or another rabbi) wrote that one can only obtain simcha on the holiday from wine and not from grape juice. So how about if a person does not like wine and does not enjoy drinking it. But he does enjoy drinking non-alcoholic grape juice and is really happy when doing so?
