Torah Portion vs Haftorah portion at Bar-Mitzvah's?

Question

Is it true that the Torah portion is much longer than the haftorah, and is read by the Rabbi in its entirety on the day of the bar-mitzvah? For example, April 9, 1960 has a halftorah portion of Shabbat HaGadol / Malachi 3:4 - 3:24... but a Torah portion of Parashat Tzav (Leviticus 6:1-8:36). Is this entire Torah portion read during the bar-mitzvah by the Rabbi while the Bar-mitzvah candidate waits to do his Haftorah portion? Or do they split the torah portion up somehow?

Another question is say May 31 1986 has a Torah portion of Parashat Bechukotai (Leviticus 26:3-27:34) and a Haftorah of Jeremiah 16:19 - 17:14.

The Torah ends in Deuteronomy then repeats, but the Tanakh ends Chronicles II before repeating. What is the nature of the cycle that repeats whereby haftorahs 12 prophets apart (above) are both reading Torah portions in Leviticus.

Thank you

Nope.



What is true is that most of the time, it depends on what is done in any specific shul.



I read my own Torah portion, but I only read one chapter, whereas in an Orthodox Shul, the Rabbi will read all (sometimes six) chapters of the portion on a typical Shabbat...what is done for B'nai Mitzvah will vary.



the FULL parasha is longer than the FULL Haftarah (spell it correctly, please...this one matters).



The most important thing that the Bar Mitzvah student does is to be CALLED TO THE TORAH, which means he/she is asked to take the first aliyah, say the prayers over the Torah...reading from it depends on the tradition of the shul and what the student is capable of.



Haftarah portions match up (the same ones, always) with the parashah from the Torah.
