Question
What are the methods for reading the Haftarah in synagogues that do not have a prophet written on a scroll?
Answer
There are four levels: A. The preferred method is to read the Haftarah from a complete prophet written on a scroll with ink as required. B. To read from 'Sefer Da-Aftarata', which is a book where the Haftarot are written in Ashurit script on a scroll with ink. C. Reading from a printed complete prophet (a complete Tanach is not necessary). D. Reading the Haftarah from a regular Chumash.
