Introduction to the Fourth Haftarah d'Nechemata

Sunday, 04 September 2011 21:48

by Saul Beck

Parashat Shof'tim's Haftarah is another of the seven Haftarot of Consolation; this one is the fourth. Like the rest of the them, it comes from the book of Isaiah and takes place after 538 B.C.E., when Cyrus the Mede decreed that the Jewish people could return to their homeland. This particular prophecy implies that some of the Jews have already returned to Jerusalem, although not yet many.

Introduction to the Third Haftarah d'Nechemata

Wednesday, 31 August 2011 20:23

by Saul Beck

The third Haftarah of Consolation is from the second half of the book of Isaiah, like the others; the historical context is also sometime after 538 B.C.E., following Cyrus's decree of restoration. While this particular Haftarah is quite short, there are nevertheless two halves to it, each dealing with a somewhat different theme. The first half begins with more promises of the restoration of Judah and Jerusalem; these should be familiar enough from the previous two Haftarot of Consolation. Isaiah predicts that the people will remain loyal to God, and God will protect them in every way, since no harm can befall them without God's consent.
