Q. Hello, I like to do Shnaim Mikreh V’achad Targum early in the week. I live in Toronto and this week I had just about finished NASO when I realized its still Shavuot on Shabbat, so Naso won’t be read until the next week.

Do I really have to re-do the whole thing or can I rely on the fact that Naso was started to be read in shul on Shabbat mincha last Shabbat?

A. Our group of Rabbonim were unanimous that you don’t have to repeat the weekly needed reading of twice the Hebrew Biblical text (Mikra) and once the Aramaic translation (Targum) of the Parsha (Naso).

The reason as you mentioned, it was read by you after it started to be read in shul on Shabbat Mincha last Shabbat, and you read them on time.
