Shabbat Shekalim / שַׁבָּת שְׁקָלִיםShabbat before Rosh Chodesh Adar 🕍Shabbat Shekalim for Hebrew Year 5784 begins at sundown on Friday, 8 March 2024 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 9 March 2024. This corresponds to Parashat Vayakhel.
Shabbat Shekalim (“Sabbath [of] shekels” שבת שקלים) read in preparation for Purim, requests each adult male Jew contribute half of a Biblical shekel for the upkeep of the Tent of Meeting. The Torah portion Exodus 30:11-16 is read. This Shabbat takes place on the Shabbat before the 1st of the Hebrew calendar month of Adar, or on the 1st of Adar itself if it falls on Shabbat. In leap years on the Hebrew calendar, when there are two months of Adar, Shabbat Shekalim is on the Shabbat before the 1st of Adar II (or on the 1st of Adar II itself if it is Shabbat).
