progress. >> The end of Kisei tzei speaks about Amalek. Actually, this year because the coming year is a Ibri yar there is uh an Indian brought in in uh some post game that you should be mikhavein to be mikayem the mitzvah of Zechiras Amalek because usually uh you'll get it for Parshas Zachor and it's within 12 months. However, this year because it's an Ibri yar, so uh it's going to be 13 months. So, by then, by ready Zachor next year, you're going to forget about Amalek. So, I believe the Sheltei Tzibur Maram Shik says you should be mikhavein this week to mikayem the mitzvah of Zechiras Amalek. Timcheh Zecher Amalek. One time the Chofetz Chaim said to a Rosh Yeshiva from one of the famous Yeshivas in Poland "I heard that you give two shiurim a day."
