Vayishlach Haftarah correction

The haftarah for Parashat Vayishlach is now listed as Obadiah 1:1 – 1:21. It was previously listed as Hosea 11:7 – 12:12 for Ashkenazim and Obadiah 1:1 – 1:21 for Sephardim.

According to scholar Aryeh Cohen,

Further research indicates that while Ovadyah has been normalized as the reading for Ashkenazi communities, this wasn’t the case even some decades ago. The Hertz Chumash has Hosea and sources from the 19th century have Hosea as an alternative but the overwhelming predilection today seems to be for Ovadyah.
