I was thinking about the seven weeks of consolation and how we read the seven prophecies of Yeshaya. So, naturally I wondered if it were possible to read the haftarah portion seven hours into Shabbat (provided the vetikin minyan could finish Shacharit in time)?

    Your definition of "naturally" is very different from mine. Even now in the summer, 7 hours after starting Shabbat doesn't take you to a point where you can say Shacharit. – magicker72 Jun 27 '21 at 02:32

  • Is this meant to be a generic question about the laws of reading the haftarah or a specific question about a practice of aligning this haftarah with a "seven" for thematic sake? – rosends Jun 27 '21 at 13:56
  • Generic. If Shabbat starts at shkia and one got permission to start davening at alot hashachar, when is the soonest time that the haftarah could be read? – Kfir Jun 27 '21 at 14:12
  • So are you asking a question that would depend on the precise location or about the halacha of when one can say certain things (https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/28789/krias-hatorah-or-megillah-before-davening) – rosends Jun 27 '21 at 14:23

Near Manchester UK, myzmanim.com tells me that for Shabbos Parshas Bolok,

Sunset Fri night was: 9:42:16. (7 hours later is 4:42:16 Shabbos morning.)

Earliest time for talis & tefillin was 2:50:55 and sunrise was 4:41:33.

During the winter we often daven shacharis from the earliest time for talis & tefillin. So if you could accept to say the shacharis Amidah before sunrise (not like the Vatikin), you could continue the order of the service and read the Torah and the Haftorah within 7 hours of Shabbos coming in.

    It would work better for (1) Shabbat Pinchas, (2) Helsinki [I happened to be there once on June 21!], (3) Chabad.org has the times as 1028pm for candle lightning, 402am for neitz, so plenty of time :-> Feel free to use if you wish. https://www.chabad.org/calendar/zmanim_cdo/aid/143790/locationid/219/locationtype/1/tdate/7-2-2021/jewish/Zmanim-Halachic-Times.htm – mbloch Jun 27 '21 at 13:04
