The Parasha Dual Dichotomy 5782/2022 Which Week Is Which? by Rabbi Yehuda Spitz<https://ohr.edu/this_week/insights_into_halacha/9851>

This time of year is an interesting one. For the next several months or so, already starting right after Pesach, and lasting all the way almost up until Tisha B’Av, the Jewish world will not be aligned. No, I am not referring to constellations, but rather to the weekly parasha. A simple innocuous question of “What’s this week’s parasha?” will elicit a different response depending on where in the world the question is being asked. This is because the parasha will not be the same regularly scheduled one in ChutzLa’aretz as it is in EretzYisrael.


Truthfully, this type of dichotomy actually happens not so infrequently, as it essentially occurs whenever the last day of a Yom Tov falls on Shabbos. In ChutzLa’aretz where YomTovSheini is halachically mandated,[1]<https://ohr.edu/9851#_edn1> a Yom Tov Kriyas HaTorah is publicly leined, yet, in EretzYisrael (unless by specific Chutznikminyanim)[2]<https://ohr.edu/9851#_edn2>[3]<https://ohr.edu/9851#_edn3> the Kriyas HaTorah of the next scheduled Parasha is read. This puts EretzYisrael a Parasha ahead until the rest of the world soon ‘catches up’, by an upcoming potential double-Parasha, which each would be read separately in EretzYisrael.
