[Mesorah] Haftorah

[Shlomo Godick]

I believe that certain kehilot among the Teimanim (not all) have a different minhag and they do not wait for Matos-Mas'ei but schedule a earlier "double-parasha".

Last time:  5768  (3 years ago)
Next time:  5774  (3 years from now)

This is true everywhere, but on the whole, it is read more often in Eretz Yisrael than in chu"l.

In chu"l, it is only read in shanim me'ubarot that start on Thursdays.  We are now in a series of 4 consecutive shanim me'ubarot that all start on Thursdays -- {5765, 5768, 5771, 5774} -- so currently "seems" relatively common.  I remember that in 5765 (when I was living in chu"l), people were pointing out that the haftarah would be read for the first time in 21 years, since 5744.

In Eretz Yisrael, we also read it in shanim me'ubarot where the 8th day of Pesach falls on Shabbos, and EY then gets a week ahead.  In such a case, chu"l does not have any double parashiyot scheduled until Matos-Mas'ei, so EY does not have a chance to "fall back" by splitting up 2 parashiyot that are joined in chu"l until then, meaning that EY gets Pinechas in before 17 Tammuz.  (Okay, actually *on* 17 Tammuz, which is the day before the fast in such a case.)  Thus, in EY in 5765, they only got to talk about how they hadn't read the haftarah in 10 years, since 5755.
