A relatively brief reading from one of the Biblical books that are known collectively as the " Nevi'im/Prophets." A specific haftarah reading is assigned to each Shabbat and holiday, usually based on a connection with the Torah portion for that day. The word "haftarah" itself means "finishing-off" -- it finishes off the Scriptural reading for the day. The Ashkenazic pronunciation, "haf tor ah," sometimes misleads people to think that the word has something to do with "Torah." But it doesn't.

The haftarah or haftorah (Hebrew: הפטרה‎; plural haftarot or haftorahs; "parting," "taking leave") is a text selected from the books of Nevi'im ("The Prophets") that is read publicly in the synagogue after the reading of the Torah on each Sabbath, as well as on Jewish festivals and fast days. The haftarah usually has a thematic link to the Torah reading that precedes it. When the haftarah is read in the synagogue it is sung with cantillation (trop), and its related blessings are said before and after it.
