Readings for hol hamoed Pesah 5781 incorrect

Mikie Goldstein 3 years ago updated 2 years ago 3

The readings that Hebcal has for the days of hol hamoed Pesah 5781 in Israel are incorrect. The first day of hol hamoed (second day of Pesah) should be the same Vayikra reading as read in hutz laaretz. We actually read the same each day! The big problem is that Hebcal has NO reading for the last day of hol hamoed in Israel (Friday)! I have just had to deal with a question about this from a student, who was most perplexed that there was NO reading for this day!
Please correct the readings, especially if the same appears in future years (I didn't check).

Hi,

Thanks for contacting me - happy to help.


I checked up in both my siddur (Vaani Tefilati) and in my tikkun (Simanin). All days are correct EXCEPT for days 2 and 5 (1 and 4 of hol hamoed). Whilst the readings are correct, the division is not. Below is the division as per my tikkun and siddur:

Pesach II (Hol Hamoed 1)
1. Vayikra 22:26 - 23:8, 16 pesukim

2. Vayikra 23:9 - 14, 6 pesukim

3. Vayikra 23:15 - 44, 30 pesukim

4. Correct

Pesach V (Hol Hamoed 4)

1. Shemot 34:1 - 3, 3 pesukim

2. Shemot 34:4 - 16, 13 pesukim

3. Shemot 34:17 - 26, 10 pesukim

4. Correct

I hope that this is helpful.

Hag sameah,

Mikie
