What Is the Haftarah?
By Mendel Adelman
A prophetic excerpt, the haftarah is read post-Torah on special days to complement the Torah reading’s themes.

A synagogue is a place of Jewish worship. In addition to housing a sanctuary for services, synagogues (most notably Chabad centers) serve as the centerpoint of Jewish life.
