פ"א-Parshas Porah

Some say that reading Parshas Zachor & Parshas Parah is Min Hatorah.

The Mishna Verurah writes that many Achronim argue and hold Parshas Parah is not Min Hatorah.

Tosfos (Brachos 13a & Megilla 17b) enumerates the times when Kerias Hatorah is Min Hatorah.

People mistakenly thought it meant פרה אדומה
