Weekly Blog Scripture Readings for 2/17 through 2/23/13.

** A different Haftarah is read when it is a special sabbath in Jewish tradition. On 2/23 is the traditional “Shabbat Zachor” (Sabbath of Remembrance), which is the Sabbath just before Purim. This haftarah is read as a reminder on the instruction in Deuteronomy 25:17-19 to not forget to remember what Amalek did and to blot out the remembrance of Amalek. It is read at this time because Haman (“the Agagite” Esther 3:1) was a descendent of the king of the Amalekites who had been spared by Saul.
