Shnayim Mikra V'Echad Targum: Difference between revisions

#One can begin to read the weekly Parsha once the congregation (Tzibbur) read the Parsha at [[Shabbat]] [[Mincha]]. <ref>Rama (Darchei Moshe 285:1) quotes a dispute between the Mordechai who says one can begin to read [[Shenayim Mikra]] from [[mincha]] of [[Shabbat]] when the congregation begins to read that parsha and the Kol Bo who argues that one can not read it then because earlier that day the congregation read the previous parsha. S”A 285:3 writes that one can start on Sunday. Shulchan Aruch Harav 285:5 and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 72:11 agree. The Mishna Brurah 285:7 explains that the language of Shulchan Aruch is imprecise and really one is permitted to start once the Tzibbur began reading the Parsha at [[Shabbat]] [[Mincha]]. Shaar HaTziyun 285:12 notes that the opinion of the Kol Bo is a minority opinion. Kaf HaChaim 285:24 seems to agree. See Sh”t Yaskil Avdi O”C 5:39 and Sh”t Asse Lecha Rav 7:16. </ref>

#Some have the practice to do the [[Shenayim Mikrah]] on Friday afternoon.<ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 72:11 writes that ideally one should read [[Shenayim Mikra]] on Friday afternoon. Orchot Rabbenu (pg 123) writes the minhag of the Stiepler was to read it once on Friday afternoon and once with the Bal Koreh. </ref>

#One should finish Shenayim Mikra V'Echad Targum by [[Shabbat]] lunch. <ref>Chayei Adam [[Shabbos]] 7:9, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 285:5, Aruch Hashulchan 285:8, Mishna Brurah 285:9 and Beiur Halacha "yashlim." The Shla quoted by the Magen Avraham 285:5-6 and the Arizal quoted by the Shaare Teshuva 285:1 say that one should finish by friday. </ref> If one didn’t complete it by lunch time one shouldn't delay lunch for Shnayim Mikrah rather one should finish it by [[Mincha]] of [[Shabbat]]. If one didn’t complete it by then one can fulfill it until Tuesday night. Some hold one can even complete it by that year’s Shemini Esret.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 285:4, Mishna Brurah 285:9. See Kaf Chaim Palagi 27:4, Ben Ish Chai Lech Lecha 14. There are many opinions as to what is meant by until [[mincha]].  

#The Shenayim Mikra V'Echad Targum of Parshat Vezot Habracha should be read on [[Hoshana Rabba]]. However, if one read it on Shemini Esret one also fulfills the obligation. <ref>The Chida in Birkei Yosef 285:4, Ben Ish Chai (Vezot Habracha 1:15), and Mishna Brurah 285:18 write that while it's preferable to read the [[Shenayim Mikra]] of Vezot HaBracha on [[Hoshana Rabba]], it may also be read on [[Shemini Aseret]]. The Piskei Teshuvot 285:4 quotes the Sh"t Kaneh Bosem 1:16 who holds that if one read it prior to [[Hoshana Rabba]] one hasn't fulfilled his obligation. However, the Dvir Hakadosh (Siman 23:4, p. 124) argues that according to Tosfot one should be able to read it from the first time we read it on [[Shabbat]] [[mincha]]. </ref>

#Someone for whom it’s difficult to read it on Friday or [[Shabbat]] have those to rely to say it Friday night.<ref>Sh”t Yabia Omer O”C 6:30(5), Sh"t Yitzchak Yiranen 1:29. </ref>

#If one misses a week one should read the previous Parsha's Shenayim Mikra and then the current week's Parsha. <ref>Sh”t Bear Moshe 5:79 writes that if one misses a week one should read the previous Parsha's [[Shenayim Mikra]] and then the current weeks Parsha. Rav Shlomo Zalman in Halichot Shlomo ([[Tefillah]] 12:36), Ketzos haShulchan 72:9, Chazon Ovadyah ([[Shabbat]], vol 1, pg 314), and [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=2057 Daily Halacha (by Rabbi Mansour)] agree. However, Sh”t Yitzchak Yiranen 1:32 says one can make up a parsha out of order. Halichot Shlomo ([[Tefillah]] 12:37) adds that if one did begin the current week's parsha before one finished the previous one, one may finish it.</ref> Some say one should do the current parshas before making up for the previous one.<ref>Rabbi Yisroel Reisman in a shiur. The rationale provided is that it isn't clear whether the operating principle is to compete them in the correct order, or whether making up the missed week is similar to the rule of ''tashlumim'' for a missed prayer (where the current prayer must be completed prior to the makeup prayer). Further, the basic rules is to complete the personal reading concurrently with the public reading; this may apply on a weekly or annual basis.</ref>
