Haftarah
Haftarah is a special reading from the Jewish Bible that is read after the Torah portion during Shabbat and Jewish holidays. It is like a story that is told to help people understand the lesson or message of the Torah portion.
Just like how your teacher might read you a story about sharing or being kind, the rabbi reads a story from the Jewish Bible about something that happened a long time ago, but still has an important lesson for us today.
The Haftarah is usually taken from the books of the Prophets, which were written a long time ago by special people who talked with God and helped guide the Jewish people.
After the Torah portion is read, everyone stands up and listens carefully as the rabbi reads the Haftarah, and then they talk about what they learned from it. It helps people understand how to apply the lessons from the Torah to their everyday lives.
