I don't see the Haftorah companion for Shabbos haGadol... am I missing something? Thank you for these companions, I listen to some every morning... I really learn a lot about them Reply

in response to Moshe :

Thank you!
There is a varying custom with regard to the Haftara read on Shabbos Hagadol. In Chabad, the unique Haftara for this Shabbos,"Ve'arva' is only read when Shabbos Hagadol is on the eve of Pesach; a rare occurrence. Reply

I really enjoy your shiurim. Never got into Haftorahs. Now it's been opened up for me. Keep up the good work Reply
