Q. We are planning to come from Eretz Yisroel to North America for Pesach. This year, Shir Hashirim will be read on the 1st day of Pesach in Eretz Yisroel and the 8th day in Chu"l. Since the 8th day is technically not Yom Tov for us (we need to say regular Shabbos Amidah, avoid saying Hallel), should we read Shir HaShirim for ourselves on the 1st day of Pesach?
May we get an Aliyah in the Kri'ah of Aser T'aser?
May they read all of Acharei Mos at Mincha for our benefit?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit'a opinion is that you should preferably recite Shir Hashirim at the Seder, as is the minhag of many.
The Rov Shlit'a maintains that you should not receive an Aliya when reading a parsha that does not correspond to your obligation.
He added, that if Tircha Detzibur and the unnecessary excessive time consuming reading for the rest of the minyan is not an issue, they may read all of Acharei Mos at Mincha.
