Parsha:
Pinchas 

Description

Haftarah readings originated when Torah study was forbidden. Usually linked to the weekly Torah portion, the next 12 weeks deviate: 3 weeks of rebuke before Tisha B'Av, then 7 weeks of consolation and 2 for repentance. Maimonides' writings reflect how diaspora Jews adopted special readings, mirroring today's Israel-Diaspora unity through shared experiences.
