Heartfelt Haftarah

As a follow up to his last series, Taste of Torah, where the Rabbi discussed the Torah parasha each week, he has created a new series for this year, Heartfelt Haftarah. He will be discussing the companion haftarah for each Torah portion throughout the year.

We've posted the haftarah discussions for the 1st two portions of the year already - Bereshit and Noach. Tune in each week as the Rabbi goes through the yearly cycle and covers each related haftarah. He will also be discussing related items like the structure of the Tanakh, how and why the haftarah readings were chosen, and many more facts and ideas.

Each video should be posted no later than 8:00 AM on Thursday mornings each week. We've received a lot of positive feedback about the Taste of Torah and hope you find Heartfelt Haftarah just as informative and enjoyable!

You can always find it under the "From the Rabbi" menu on the website or use this direct link.
