Why is the Triennial Torah reading for Acharei Mot (4/30/22) listed as the first third of the parshah, instead of the last third of the parshah? In the Conservative Luach - the reading is the last third.

Hello again, we've been alerted to a recent revision to the Triennial aliyot which explains the discrepancy you see between what Hebcal had published and Rabbi Miles B. Cohen's luach.

In November 2020, the CJLS modified the triennial cycle for some combined parshiyot to change the reading for year 3 to be the third section of the parashah.

We have implemented the revised aliyah scheme according to the CJLS and updated our web page earlier today to match

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal's leyning information.

Hebcal follows the document A Complete Triennial System for Reading the Torah, published by the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly. The leyning for Achrei Mot comes directly from this source.

Here is a screenshot of the relevant except from that document. This is year 3 of a cycle for variation "A", where Achrei Mot and Kedoshim are read together, together, and then separately.
