Notes:

257. (Back to text) This list, compiled by the Rebbe Shlita and based on the Siddur im Dach, appears in Siddur Torah Or (Kehot, N.Y., 1941). See also the Glosses of the Rebbe Rashab on the Siddur, s.v. haftarah.

258. (Back to text) Reshimos al Megillas Eichah, p. 61, where the Rebbe Shlita adds the following note: "For the various opinions on this subject see Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim, sec. 425 and its commentaries; Shaarei Ephraim, Shaar 9, sec. 22.

     "The following note appears among my records of the year 5690 (1930), when Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av fell on Shabbos:

     Motzaei Shabbos, the eve of the Ninth of Menachem Av, 5690 (May this date be transformed into a day of rejoicing!), Berlin:

     I called on my revered father-in-law, the Rebbe, who was resting on the sofa. Regarding the custom governing the Haftorah to be read on the Shabbos of Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av, he said: 'My father [the Rebbe Rashab] once read hashamayim kisi [i.e., Yeshayahu ch. 66, which is the standard Haftorah for any Rosh Chodesh that falls on Shabbos]. Several years later, when Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av again fell on Shabbos, he read shimu devar Hashem [i.e., Yirmeyahu 2:4-28 and 4:1-2, which, as one of the three Haftoros of admonition, is the Haftorah for the second-last Shabbos (Parshas Masei) before the fast of Tishah BeAv]. At that time my father commented that he regretted having done otherwise on the previous occasion.' "
