Six Remembrances

The Exodus

...in order that you remember the day you came out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

Deuteronomy 16:3.

The Revelation at Mount Sinai

Only beware, and guard your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen; lest they be removed from your heart all the days of your life; and make them known to your children and to your children’s children. [That what you witnessed] the day you stood before Adonoy your God at Chorev.

Deuteronomy 4:9-10.

The Attack of Amalek

Remember what Amalek did to you on the way, as you came out of Egypt! How he encountered you on the way, and he cut off all the weak ones [who were straggling] behind you, when you were weary and exhausted; and he did not fear God. When Adonoy, Your God, will relieve you from all your enemies around you, in the land which Adonoy, your God, gives you as a possession to inherit; you shall eradicate the memory of Amalek from beneath the heavens. Do not forget.

Other commentators say that these words refer to the Jewish people, who did not fear God.

Deuteronomy 25:17-19.

The Sin of the Golden Calf

Remember, do not forget, how you provoked Adonoy, Your God, in the desert.

Deuteronomy 9:7.

What Happened to Miriam

Remember what Adonoy, your God, did to Miriam on the way, when you came out of Egypt.

Deuteronomy 24:9.

The Sabbath

Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it.

Exodus 20:8.
