Twice Scripture and Translation 1
Question
He came of age in the middle of the year.
It would seem that what he read while still a minor, at the time when the congregation was up to those portions,
counts as completing his portions together with the congregation,
and this obligation was the maximum he could then fulfill.
So from the moment he becomes an adult, does he continue with the congregation from that same portion, without having to make up the portions from the period when he was a minor?
Answer
I didn't understand. Are you asking whether a boy who becomes bar mitzvah has to make up all the portions that were read that year up to his bar mitzvah? I don't see any reason for that.
