'From seeming weird to providing radical insights: The Haftarah' 

Contrary to popular misconception the Haftarah is not half-Torah! The term comes from the verb “to complete”, and the haftarah functions as early commentary on the Torah, sometimes subversive, and always interesting when you spot and explore the connections between the Torah and Haftarah.  Join Rabbi Benji after the Shabbat morning service as we’ll explore these connections and also begin to appreciate some of the searing Prophets of the Haftarah in their own right.

For each of these Shabbat lunch and learns we’ll start exploring the Haftarah for the coming week so as to already be appreciating the next Shabbat as well as this one. Come learn and discuss.
