Hi,
As we noted yesterday, popular custom requires that we read the phrase "זכר עמלק" twice in the reading for Shabbat Zachor, reading it once as "zecher" and once as "zeicher" due to doubt as to the more accurate reading.
The same should be done when reading this paragraph as part of Parshat Ki Tetze.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 5:20:32)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

"Zeicher amalekh" and "zecher amalek"
Hi,
Regarding the practice of saying "zeicher amalek" and "zecher amalek" when reading the last sentence of Parshat Zachor on the Shabbat before Purim: One need not repeat the entire sentence. However, one should go back to "timcheh" for the second reading, so that people will understand that the second reading is a possible correction of the first, and not the text which is written in the Torah.
The same principle applies when words are read twice, due to doubts as to their correct reading, in Megilat Esther.
