A weekly feature of Torah Tidbits to help clarify practical and conceptual aspects of the Jewish Calendar, thereby better fulfilling the mitzva of HaChodesh HaZeh Lachem... Sh'kalim can be in
Sh'vat or Adar (Adar Alef or Bet). HaChodesh can be in Adar (Adar
Bet) or Nisan. Zachor and Para can only be in Para can be the 18th (this year, 28.5% frequency), 20th (31.9%), 22nd (11.5%), or 23rd (28.0%) of Adar (or Adar Bet). Para is Ki Tisa (as it is this year) most often (41.7% of the time). It is Sh'mini 20.5%, Vayakheil-P'kudei 18.1%, Tzav 16.3, and Vayakheil alone 3.3%. Now let's look at things from the Ki Tisa perspective. As already mentioned, Ki Tisa is with Para 41.7% of the years. 55% of the time, Ki Tisa is by itself. As it is all over the world and Israel except in Jerusalem, the other 3.3% of the time. In Jerusalem, however, Ki Tisa is accompanied by Purim. [The
