Title: Shelumiel on Shabbos
Author: Chaim Simons Date: Sep 21 2011

Reply

It is customary during the first 12 (or 13) days of Nisan to read each day the korban which a nasi brought for the the chanukas hamizbeiach. This is also the leining for Chanukah. The only day Chanukah cannot begin on is Tuesday, which means that the 5th day of Chanukah can never fall on Shabbos, and as a result the korban for Shelumiel ben Tsurishadai is never read on Shabbos. (Because of this, some say that Shelumiel is the origin of the word schlemiel!!) However Shelumiel does get his opportunity to be read on Shabbos - during Nisan, since the 5th day can fall on Shabbos!
