Shabbat Zachor 2017 / שַׁבָּת זָכוֹר 5777

Shabbat Zachor (Shabbat before Purim) for Hebrew Year 5777 began on Friday, 10 March 2017 and ended on Saturday, 11 March 2017. This corresponds to Parashat Tetzaveh.

Shabbat Zachor ("Sabbath [of] remembrance שבת זכור) is the Shabbat immediately preceding Purim. Deuteronomy 25:17-19, describing the attack by Amalek, is recounted. There is a tradition from the Talmud that Haman, the antagonist of the Purim story, was descended from Amalek. The portion that is read includes a commandment to remember the attack by Amalek, and therefore at this public reading both men and women make a special effort to hear the reading.
