Haftara Matot הפטרת מטות

Whenever Shabbat Pinehas falls after the fast of the 17th of Tamuz then we read the Haftara of Matot instead to mark the first special haftara of the three weeks.
There is a special tune for this haftara sung by both Spanish and French Moroccans

Despite the trials and stress leading up to the holiday, there's almost no better feeling when you sit around the table with you family celebrating the Pesah Seder. The Moroccan tradition of singing "Bivhilu" and the other glorious songs, make our feast one of the best in the world. Here is the most of the Hagada recorded for you to learn at your convenience.

You can even follow the second part of the Kadish with the remaining melodies of this piyut. The climax of this son is the nay-na-nay in the middle which its melody is often used to sing "VaAni Tefilati" during Minha of Shabbat. What can I say? I love this song. Maqam - El Maya
