[Avodah] Reading the Haftorah

[Allan Engel]

While it is almost universally Chasiddisher minyonim where the congregation
read the Haftora rather than listening to the oleh/baal koreh, it's worth
noting that the Chazon Ish paskens that one is only yotzei Haftora through
Shomei'ah Ke'Oneh when the Haftora is leyned from a Klaf, but when there is
only a chumash or nach to read from, it is necessary for individuals to read
it themselves.

I hope that a lucid response sent at this hour on Shushan Purim does not
elicit suspicion that the Mitzvos Hayom were not fulfilled to a suitable
degree.

people who daven in this Shtiebel what the reason is for not reading the
Haftorah out loud, and no one seemed to know.
