Shekalim

When the Holy Temple stood in Jerusalem, each Jew contributed an annual half-shekel to the Temple. In commemoration of this annual tax, the

Torah reading of the Shabbat that falls on or before Adar is supplemented with the verses ( Exodus 30:11 -16) that relate G‑d's commandment to Moses regarding the first giving of the half-shekel.

"Parshat Shekalim" is the first of four special readings added during or immediately before the month of Adar (the other three being Zachor , Parah and Hachodesh ).

The Shekalim reading is also related to the upcoming holiday of Purim. According to the Talmud, Haman's decree was averted in merit of the mitzvah of machatzit hashekel.

His new project, ‘ Chuppot ’, challenges the monopoly by providing Orthodox weddings independent of the Rabanut. He is married to Miriam, who grew up on Moshav Mevo Modi'in, and they have five children.
