The "HaMaftir" Bar Mitzvah pamphlet is published as a series - one pamphlet for each parashah in the Hebrew calendar. It contains instructions and laws for laying t'fillin, the names of all the te'amim, the Torah blessings, the text of the Maftir rendered side by side in both Hebrew printing and hand-drawn Torah script, the Haftarah blessings and the text of the Haftarah. These pamphlets are still available today on-line and in Judaica shops. These pamphlets are not meant to be used without supervision and instruction from a knowledgeable teacher.

This author finds it curious that the more familiar text of the blessings, such as the opening Haftarah blessing in Figure 4, is set in a larger point size than the text of the Haftarah, which is less familiar to the a student studying their first Haftarah text. It might make more sense to set the Haftarah text in the same point size as the blessing, or set the blessing in the smaller point size and the Haftarah text in the larger point size to reduce the number of words per line, thereby making the text a little more visually accessible to the novice reader.

There is more spacing between the Hebrew words and lines in comparison to the text in "Sefer Bar Mitzvah Hashalem", resulting in no collisions with the printed matter from one line of Hebrew with another.

By convention, Hebrew letters are used to designate numbers (see Proposed Formatting Standard - Macro 5 in for an explanation). Moreover, the Hebrew verse numbers are written in a smaller font than the text of each verse. This is helpful in distinguishing between the verse numbers, which are not vocalized by the reader, and the words of each verse, which are.

The verses are translated into English and printed on the facing page in the booklet as seen in Figure 6. This is useful in helping the novice Hebrew reader to get a sense of what the words mean, even if the reader cannot translate the Hebrew on their own.
