Prophets and Prophecy: An Introduction to the Haftarah
Hosted By: My Jewish Learning
My Jewish Learning will host a class with Rabbi Lauren Tuchman exploring the tradition of reading the Haftarah on Shabbat and holiday mornings. The session will discuss the historical origins of this practice, its importance according to the rabbis of the Talmud, and how specific prophetic passages are paired with Torah portions. The class will examine why this custom continues today despite the absence of restrictions on publicly reading the Torah.
