The haftorah of this day is referred to as “The Chariot of Yechezkel.” Due to the holiness of this haftorah, it is customary that a great person who is a Torah scholar read it.According to some customs, if a congregant reads the haftorah along with the Ba’al Maftir, he should stand up while doing so.In Israel, where there is only one day of Yom Tov, Yizkor is recited on this day. As on every day of Yom Tov (and every day in Sefardic shuls and most shuls in Israel), the Kohanim bless the people during Chazzan’s repetition of the Musaf of Shavuot.
