Halocho #234 - What comes first: Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh or Chanuka?

Rosh Chodesh Tevet is on Shabbat and Sunday.

On Shabbat we will take out 3 Sifrei Torah:

• In the first Sefer Torah we call up [at least] 6 people for the weekly portion - Miketz
• The second Sefer Torah is for Rosh Chodesh, starting from "וביום השבת", after which Kaddish is said.
• The 3rd Sefer Torah is for  Chanuka - ביום הששי from Parshat Naso.

The Haftara is the Chanuka one (רני ושמחי from Zecharia 2:14)

On Sunday we will take out 2 Sifrei Torah:

• In the first Sefer Torah we call up 3 people while reading the regular Rosh Chodesh portion.
• The second Sefer Torah is for  Chanuka - ביום השביעי from Parshat Naso after which Kaddish is said.
