Hi, thanks for the excellent explanation. We're so very sorry for any confusion or difficulty you experienced here.

In November 2020, the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly voted to change how triennial Torah readings work in year 3 for some of the Torah portions.

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.

The following parshiyot have been modified:

• Vayakhel
• Tazria
• Achrei Mot
• Behar
• Chukat
• Matot

Further details are available in the responsa: Modification of the Triennial Cycle Readings for Combined Parashot in Certain Years, Rabbi Miles B. Cohen, November 16, 2020

We were unaware of the CJLS responsa for about a year -- and then, in December 2021 we updated our Torah reading pages to match the new schedule.

It's obviously up to the rabbi of your congregation to decide, but in my (also layperson's) opinion, it seems perfectly acceptable for a congregation to continue to use the original triennial Torah readings that the CJLS first published in 1998 and Hebcal.com republished until December 2021.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal.

We didn't fully understand your question. Are you looking for the Torah reading page for Parashat Vayikra in 2023? Here it is:

https://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/vayikra-20230325

Parashat Tazria in 2022 happens to be a 3-sefer-Torah Shabbat! Shabbat HaChodesh coincides with Rosh Chodesh Nisan once every 3-4 years. We wrote a short article about this on our website:

https://www.hebcal.com/home/3966/three-torah-scrolls-on-shabbat

You can tell this by examining the Parashat Tazria page and looking at the special aliyot listed in green.

If your mother passed away on March 18, 2004 then indeed the yahrzeit is observed in Adar I in leap years and Adar during ordinary years.

In fact, this is exactly what the Hebcal Yahrzeit + Anniversary calendar produces:

Where are you seeing different results for March 18, 2004?

Hebcal uses the algorithm defined in Calendrical Calculations by Edward M. Reingold and Nachum Dershowitz, which accords with Ashkenazic practice.

The customary anniversary date of a death is more complicated and depends also on the character of the year in which the first anniversary occurs. There are several cases:

• If the date of death is Marcheshvan 30, the anniversary in general depends on the first anniversary; if that first anniversary was not Marcheshvan 30, use the day before Kislev 1.
• If the date of death is Kislev 30, the anniversary in general again depends on the first anniversary — if that was not Kislev 30, use the day before Tevet 1.
• If the date of death is Adar II, the anniversary is the same day in the last month of the Hebrew year (Adar or Adar II).
• If the date of death is Adar I 30, the anniversary in a Hebrew year that is not a leap year (in which Adar only has 29 days) is the last day in Shevat.
• In all other cases, use the normal (that is, same month number) anniversary of the date of death.
