Shabbat Zachor 2024 / שַׁבָּת זָכוֹר 5784

Shabbat of Remembrance 🕍

Shabbat Zachor for Hebrew Year 5784 begins at sundown on Friday, 22 March 2024 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 23 March 2024. This corresponds to Parashat Vayikra.

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.
