	Haftarah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the haftarah is read in the synagogue it is sung with cantillation (trop), and its related blessings are said before and after it.
		The haftarah is read by b'ne mitzvah at their respective ceremonies, along with some, all, or, sometimes, none of the Torah portion.
		When a Talmudically specified haftarah was to be read on a certain Sabbath (e.g., on Sabbath of Hanukkah), some communities did not read the bridegroom's haftarah, preferring to keep to the standard haftarah of the week.

	Haftarah
		The Haftarah is a selection from the prophets, most often Isaiah, but from others as well.
		For the Haftarah, the Rabbis chose a passage from Isaiah which describes ways in which a just and righteous life can be pursued.

	Blessing when called to Haftarah Reading
		Haftarah is likened to the dessert of a meal, since the reading of the Prophets completes the Torah reading of the service.
		Generally the Haftarah is on a subject related to the Torah portion (except on Holidays, when the reading usually relates to the festival).
		The reason that the Ba'al Haftarah receives the additional maftir aliyah rather than one of the seven mandated aliyot is to avoid giving the impression that the Haftarah (which comes from the prophetic section of the Hebrew Bible) is of equal sanctity as the Torah portion.

	Union for Reform Judaism - Chol HaMo-eid Pesach,5761
		The connection between the Shabbat of Pesach and this week's special haftarah reading can be found in the theme of Israel's deliverance.
		In the Torah, the Jews are delivered from slavery; in the Haftarah, the Jews are delivered from death.

		In the traditional Chumash, each weekly Torah portion is followed by a Haftarah (a selection from the Prophets) that is somehow connected in theme or idea to the Torah portion, or to the time of year (like the special Haftarah for the Shabbat just before Pesach).
		By choosing the Haftarah for each week, the rabbis gave their own special twist or interpretation to the Torah passage and to Jewish thought and practice in general.
		Another haftarah, from Isaiah, is traditionally assigned for the morning of Yom Kippur, and can be a most powerful challenge to the community.

		The haftarah picks up on the theme of redeeming land with a story from the book of Jeremiah, whom God instructs to redeem land belonging to his cousin Hanamel.
		So in this haftarah, Jeremiah is investing in land even though he knows he will never use it, but he hopes that in the future his descendants will return to Zion and again plant vineyards and build houses in their homeland.
		And I think of the possibility that grows nearer every day, that in the coming year Danny will graduate, go to Israel with his class, God-willing, and prepare for college, and that he can have faith that a bright future awaits him if he is willing to make it happen.
