The Haftorah Of Parshas Mishpatim this Year 5785

 The standard haftorah for parshas  mishpatim "Hadavar" is usually only read on a leap year  but a regular common year it usualy falls out on parshas shekalim and the Haftorah of shekalim is read.

This year 5785  shabbas shekalim will  not fall out on shabbos parshas mishpatim rather it will be  next week parshas Teruma shabbos rosh chodesh Adar. The last time it happened like this was 31 years ago. 

Usually in a regular non leap year Shekalim comes out on Mishpatim. However due to the interesting calendar year of 5785 Next week there will be 3 sifrei torah for shabbos, rosh chodesh and shekalim 

In most years, we read a different haftarah for Shabbos Mishpatim, and, occasionally, there is a gap of many years between one reading of Hadavar and the next. Parshas Mishpatim almost always falls on the Shabbos before Rosh Chodesh Adar. In non-leap years, on that Shabbos we read parshas Shekalim for maftir and, therefore, we read the special haftarah for Shabbos Shekalim which is in sefer Melachim. As a result, almost the only time we read Hadavar is in a leap year, when Shekalim is read on or immediately before Rosh Chodesh of the second Adar – since it is the month immediately preceding Nissan – and Mishpatim falls before the first Adar. 

Even in a leap year, when Shekalim never coincides with Mishpatim, there are years when Shabbos Mishpatim falls either on Rosh Chodesh or on Erev Rosh Chodesh. In these instances, we read the special haftaros for Rosh Chodesh or for Erev Rosh Chodesh. As a result, at times, many years go by until we again read Hadavar.
