Tazri’a & M’tzora (and Acharei & K’doshim) are the two uncomplicated pairs of sedras that combine in 12-month years (63%) and separate in 13-month years (37%), in Israel and in Chutz LaAretz. The other pairs are more complicated.
When Tazri’a is combined with M’tzora (in 12-month years), it falls on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 6th of Iyar. When it is read alone (13-month years), it falls on the 27th or 29th of Adar Bet (HaChodesh), on Rosh Chodesh Nisan (HaChodesh) or on the 3rd or the 5th of Nissan.
