15 Adar Sheni (Sun.night March 24- Mon. March 25) SHUSHAN PURIM! in Jerusalem. Inhabitants of cities that were important enough to be surrounded by walls at the time of the Jews' entrance into the Holy Land in the year 2488 after Creation, celebrate Purim one day later than everyone else (see Esther 9:17-19). Prime example: Jerusalem. The status of Tsfat and several other cities in Israel is unclear, so the day is celebrated somewhat in addition to regular-Purim, "just-in-case." 20 Adar Sheni (March 29-30) Shabbat Tzav, Torah Reading: Lev. 6:1-8:36; Haftarah: Jeremiah 7:21-8:3;9:22,23 27 Adar Sheni (Apr.5-6) Shabbat Shimini, Parshat Para, Shabbat Mevarchim: Torah Reading: Lev. 9:1-11:47; Maftir- Num. 19:1-22; Haftorah: Ezekiel 36:16-18
