The Parsha of Zechiras Amalek – found at the end of Parashas Ki Seitzei - includes three commandments: 1-Remembering what Amalek had done to us after we left Mitzrayim. 2. A Lo Sa’aseh - Don’t forget. 3- A Mitzvas Aseh to blot out the people of Amalek

Among the questions discussed:

  • ·         Is it sufficient to remember (in one’s mind), or does one need to make a verbal declaration?
  • ·         If one is required to express it vocally, must he read the Pesukim from a sefer?
  • ·         If so, does reading from a Chumash suffice, or must they be read from a Sefer Torah?
  • ·         Must Parshas Zachor be read with a Minyan?
  • ·         Are women obligated in this Mitzvah?
  • ·         What is the purpose of remembering Amalek?  Is it to remember their bad deeds, or is it to evoke hatred towards them?
  • ·         Is there a “constant” chiyuv to remember, or a once-a year Mitzvah?
  • ·         If one needs to choose between hearing Parashas Zachor and hearing Megilas Esther, which should he choose?
