<i>Acharonim</i> note that both the reader and listener must have the proper intention to fulfill the mitzva.<span>
</span>The Taz claims that this applies even to the <i>berakhot</i> recited before the reading, and that one who does not hear the
<i>berakhot</i> does not fulfill the obligation. This raises the interesting question of the extent to which the Rabbis defined the
<i>mitzva</i> of <i>zekhirat Amalek</i> as the reading (or listening to) the portion from the Torah with its blessings.<span>
</span>The Taz apparently believes that the mitzva must be fulfilled within the formal context of
<i>keriat</i> <i>ha-Torah</i>, which of course includes the blessings preceding and concluding the portion.
