Haftarah - Reading for Each Individual?
Question
Hello Rabbi,
When a person listens to the Haftarah on Shabbat, should they move their lips, or, like the Torah reading, is listening alone sufficient to fulfill the obligation?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
In places where there is a reader who reads aloud for everyone, it is not necessary for each individual to recite it aloud.
In places where the reader blesses and reads quietly, each person should recite the Haftarah for themselves.
