Hi,
you are right that in these cases (plus simchas tora) 3 sifrei tora are read, but i think the question was 'when do we read 3 FULL parshios?(the way we sometimes read 2 parshios)' Reply

When Rosh Chodesh falls on Shabbat Chanuka, three portions of the Torah are read. Reply

Rabbi Posner,

An excellent quiz! Thank you for increasing my understanding concerning the systematic protocol of Torah readings. Reply

When Pesach falls on Shabbos we do read 3 Parshios, Bo for main leining, Pinchas for Maftir, and Shmini/Acharei Mos/Kedoshim in Mincha. Of course, this happens when any Yom tov falls on Shabbos. Reply

I appreciate your quizzes, but I believe that "When do we read three portions in a single Shabbat?" is a trick question. When Rosh Chodesh falls on the Shabbat of Chanukkah we do three readings or portions, even if only one is the Portion of the Week. Reply
