IMPORTANT FOR THIS SHABBOS - The Landmark Ruling of Chasam Sofer - Remembering Amalek in a Leap Year

progress. >> Hi dear friends. The uh shirim tin dedicated by Israeli family of great necklas. This week's para kis is a unique opportunity. Why? the end of the parall we read about of course as you know we read that every year in the shabas before purim parakar but we also read it this week and this week's reading of zakar has very important significance according to many rishim remembering amalik is a mitzah da that we fulfill once a year, which is interesting. What other mitzvah is there that we only do once a year? We put on fill in every day. We dab in at least once a day. The Rambam holds. The Mishna writes that according to the Rambam once a day is based on the idea that if the Tory says to do something, it doesn't say when to do it, presumably it's once a day. So where does it come from that remembering Malik is only once a year? So says well it's because it says don't forget don't forget well after how much time does a person forget we know the bra says is only forgotten after 12 months like it says I was forgotten like a mess I was like a lost object says that after a year you forget about your lost object so too you forget about a mess after a year doesn't mean you forget completely. It means the acuity of the of the loss dulls. You forget to a certain extent. Says if it says don't forget, it means you better remember it in a way that you're not going to come to forgetting. After a year you come to forget the writes in that this is the basis to remember once a year. So theam shik in his commentary to the sitwin he says that if the reasoning and the rationale to remember once a year is because it says don't forget and after a year we'll come to forget that like we forget a mess after a year or forget a lost object after a year. What would be in an ibriar? In an ibri where there are 13 months, then between one laning of zakar and another between last purim and the coming purim, they're going to be 13 months. Friends, this coming year is an ibri. So what do you do in an ibriar? More than 12 months are going to elapse between one zar and the next. So therefore the shik says I remember someone asked my what are you doing in he said that he himself is in parasit of this way 12 months don't elapse between one zak and the next. So this coming year is an ibri and uh it's an opportunity therefore this shabas to just remind yourself to have in mind to the >> recording stopped. >> Okay. Next.
