Different Torah Parashot in Israel and in the Diaspora

B"H

Shabbat and Shavuot are over. Due to the fact that in the Diaspora, the Jews celebrated two days of Shavuot (Friday + Shabbat), the Torah Parashot are different in Israel and abroad.
In Israel, we read Parashat Nasso and until Parashat Balak (4 July), when the Diaspora reads the two Parashot "Chukat" and "Balak" together, Israel will be one Torah Parasha ahead.

This coming Shabbat (6 Jun), in Israel, we are going to read Parashat Beha'alotcha".

  1. I hate when that happens...especially since here in Chutz La'aretz, parshas chukas is rarely read by itself, and therefore its lovely haftorah section (starring yiftach ha'giladi) rarely sees the light of day. Yet another reason to live in e'y.
