When the New Moon of the month of Adar (that which comes before Nissan) falls on the Sabbath, or on the Sabbath preceding the said New Moon, the Portion of the Shekels is read. And when the said New Moon falls on the Sabbath, three scrolls are taken; in the first is read the Portion of the Week, in the second that of the New Moon, and in the third the Portion of the Shekels, {1} which begins at Exodus chapter 30:11, for there it is proclaimed that they might bring all the half shekels which they were obliged to give each year for the needs of the servants. On the following second Sabbath, two scrolls are taken; in the first is read the Portion of the Week, and in the second the Portion of the Memory of Amalek which begins at Exodus chapter 17:8 {2} for we must make remembrance of the history of Amalek unto the bringing about of his downfall as it says in the Megillah, these days will be remembered and carried out.{3}. On the third Sabbath, which is the 15th of Adar, no more scrolls are taken than normally, and on the fourth, which is the 22nd of Adar, two scrolls are taken; in the first is read the Portion of the Week and in the second that of the Red Heifer {4} for it is at this time that it is burnt. On the fifth which is the 29th of Adar, two scrolls are taken. In the first is read the Portion of the Week, and in the second that with this month is for you the beginning of the months {5} in Exodus chapter 12 {6} for then is the beginning of the year for the celebration of the feasts. Having written this, although it is the concern of the Cantors to give notice of the Portions of Amalek and of the Red Heifer, it is necessary for one to attend at the Synagogue to hear them read in the Scroll of the Law.
