The Temple Mount is no longer silent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Haftorah for Shemini Atzeret (1 Kings 8:54-66) takes us back nearly three thousand years to the dedication of the First Temple in Jerusalem. The account opens as King Solomon rises “from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward heaven" (I Kings 8:54). He turns to the assembled nation and blesses them, thanking Hashem for fulfilling His promises to Israel. The timing is significant. Scripture describes fourteen days of celebration in Jerusalem - se
Sukkot, the UN and the End of Days (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Haftorah for the first day of Sukkot, taken from Zechariah 14:1-21, looks ahead to a dramatic future for Jerusalem. The prophet describes the nations of the world coming against the city in war. Jerusalem suffers terribly, but G-d intervenes. Then, in a striking turn, the same nations that came to attack the city return for a completely different reason. “And it shall come to pass that everyone who remains from all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall ascend from year to year to bow

The Haftorah for Shabbat Shuva, taken from Hosea 14:2-10, begins with words that are so familiar that we can easily overlook what they are actually asking of us. “Shuvah Yisrael", the prophet says, “Return, O Israel, to the Lord your G-d, for you have stumbled in your sin" (Hosea 14:2). It is from this verse that the Shabbat between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur takes its name. But the first word deserves particular attention. Shuvah means return. It is a verb, a call to act. Hosea is not offerin
The mercy of being awakened (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just days before Yom Kippur, Parshat Haazinu gives us a striking image of the way G-d relates to the Jewish people. “Like an eagle arousing its nest, hovering over its young, spreading its plumes, taking them and carrying them upon its wings" (Devarim 32:11). Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, 1040-1105), focusing on the words “arousing its nest," explains that an eagle does not suddenly descend upon its young. Before approaching the nest, it beats its wings so that the young birds will awaken and b
What will you do with the blessing? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Haftorah we read on the first day of Rosh Hashanah, taken from 1 Samuel 1:1-2:10, begins with a woman in tears. Hannah longs desperately for a child. Year after year, she travels with her husband Elkanah to the Mishkan (tabernacle) in Shiloh. And year after year, she watches Peninah, Elkanah’s other wife, surrounded by children while she remains barren. Finally, overwhelmed by anguish, Hannah enters the Mishkan and pours out her soul to G-d. “Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, b
