Chodesh Adar, we read Parshas Shekalim (in addition to the
regular Parsha of the week) to remember the Mitzvah
of Machtzis Hashekel in the time of the Beis
Hamikdash; Every Jew donated a half shekel coin, which
were collectively used to purchase the animals used for
the Korbon Tamid (daily sacrifices). These coins were
collected each year beginning from Rosh Chodesh Adar.
