Parashat Re’eh, Re-eh, or whatever--5773/2013 thoughts
Okay, enough Hebrew lessons--on with the show.
Basics here.
- Re-eh: Permission to enjoy (later disputed?) (Monday,
August 16, 2004)
- ". . .May it be Your will . . . that their homes not become their graves"—For the victims of Hurricane Katrina (Friday,
September 23, 2005)
- V’lo raiti tzadik neh-eh-zav (?), and I have not seen a righteous person forsaken (?)—a Jew living hand-to-mouth speaks out (Sunday, July 02, 2006)
- Which takes precedence? (Wednesday, April 09, 2008)
Parhsat re'ei can fall on Shabbat Rosh Chodesh or when Rosh Chodesh is on Sunday.
When it is Rosh Chodesh, you read haftarah for Rosh Chodesh. When it is machar chodesh (as it is this year), you read the regular haftarah (Isa 54:11-55:5). [incidentally, this is an error in Hebcal, if you use that.]
So, how do you make up for the extra haftarah? The haftarah for parshat Ki Teitzeh is Isa. 54:1-54:10. If parshat re'ei came out on Rosh Chodesh, you read Isa. 54:1-55:5 (haftarat Noach), which encompasses the missing haftarah!
Oh, is *that* the method! Thanks for the info, ELF's DH!
For the record, if I'd realized that there was a way to make up for the skipped haftarah at a later point but still before Rosh HaShanah, still during the Seven Weeks of Consolation, I wouldn't have objected to doing Haftarat Rosh Chodesh. Either the student rabbi didn't explain it to me or I didn't yet know enough for his explanation to "register."

- Parshat Re'eh, R'eih, Reeh, er, whatever (Thursday, August 25, 2011)
16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy
God in the place which He shall choose; on the feast of unleavened bread, and
on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles; and they shall not
appear before the LORD empty;

17 every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the
LORD thy God which He hath given thee. {S}
