Shabbat Parshat R'EI - MACHAR CHODESH*
TT 482 - 29 (Menachem) AV 5761 • August 17-18, '01

This week we read/learn the 5th chapter of Pirkei Avot.

Perhaps you've noticed that Machar Chodesh is followed by an asterisk. Usually, when Shabbat is Erev Rosh Chodesh, the weekly Haftara is preempted by Machar Chodesh. Usually. The custom for this Shabbat is to read the Haftara of R'EI even when it is Erev Rosh Chodesh, because it is one of the Seven Haftaras of Consolation. So this Shabbat is Machar Chodesh...but it isn't. Hence, the asterisk. Some add the first and last pasuk of Machar Chodesh to Aniya So'ara.
