Please welcome Michael Schein, on his brief visit from Jerusalem, back to the Temple Shalom congregation!
Michael will be leading Torah Study for Parashat Tetzaveh. This is also Shabbat Zachor (Remember). The Maftir is Deuteronomy 25:17-19. “Remember what Amalek did to you on your way out of Egypt!”
Our sages prescribed the public reading of this portion every year, on the Shabbat which precedes Purim. They did this so we could remember the eradication of Amalek. This portion is placed here so that it is adjacent to Purim, where we call the eradication of Haman, a descendant of Amalek.
Michael will be doing the honor of reading this Maftir from our Torah.
