| Trivia Question |
| Q. Can you find the unusual can you find the unusual can you find the unusual verse in this week's sedra? |
| Last Week's Answer |
Q. It preempts the preempter and supplements the other preempter. What is it?
A. The haftara for Parshat Sh'kalim pre-empts the haftara for Machar Chodesh which would have pre-empted the regular haftara of Mishpatim. It (the haftara of Sh'kalim) supplements the other preempter, which is the Maftir of Sh'kalim which pre-empts the rereading of the last few p'sukim of the sedra for the Maftir.
