The Midrash recounts the Haftarah (Devarim)

The Midrash Tells the Story, this great classic which has enjoyed unprecedented success for almost twenty years with its commentaries on the Torah, is finally back! This time, it deals with one of the essential subjects of Jewish life: the Haftarah. The Haftarot, these texts taken from the Nakh (Prophets and Writings), chosen in the past by our sages in a time of trouble to replace the reading of the Torah and which today occupy an importance almost similar to the Parashiot, are often unknown to the general public. Yet, they hold treasures of knowledge, morality, and hope about the history of our people. Whether they recount the stories of the great figures of Judaism or encourage us to improve ourselves, these texts, illuminated by the explanations of the great Midrashim, make us reflect and transport us, opening wide the Gates of Redemption. Thanks to the erudition and lucid commentary of Rabbi Moshe Weissman, a new world, an entire facet of traditional Jewish culture, opens up to us, allowing us to discover and appreciate the beauty and depth of the Haftarot.
