 Haftarah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The haftarah (haftara, haphtara, haphtarah, Hebrew הפטרה‎; plural haftarot, haftaros, haphtarot, haphtaros) 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 is read by b'ne mitzvah at their respective ceremonies, along with some, all, or, sometimes, none of the Torah portion.
Certainly the haftarah was read — perhaps not obligatorily or in all communities — as far back as circa A.D. : The Talmud mentions that a haftarah was read in the presence of Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus, who lived at that time.

 Blessing when called to Haftarah Reading
The reason that the Ba'al Haftarah receives the additional maftir aliyah rather than one of the seven mandated aliyot is to avoid giving the impression that the Haftarah (which comes from the prophetic section of the Hebrew Bible) is of equal sanctity as the Torah portion.
Haftarah is likened to the dessert of a meal, since the reading of the Prophets completes the Torah reading of the service.
Generally the Haftarah is on a subject related to the Torah portion (except on Holidays, when the reading usually relates to the festival).

 MyJewishLearning.com - Holidays: Special Shabbatot
The haftarah, Ezekiel 45:16-46:18, describes the sacrifices that the Israelites are to bring on the first of Nisan, on Passover, and on other festivals in the future Temple.
The first special Shabbat of the Jewish year--Shabbat Shuvah, the Sabbath of Return--occurs between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; it receives its name from a verse in the day's haftarah: "Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for you have fallen because of your sin" (Hosea 14:2).
The Torah reading on a Shabbat morning is chanted in seven sections [in traditional congregations], each introduced and closed by blessings of a congregant during an aliyah--literally a "going up" to the Torah.

 Judaism 101: Torah Readings
In the synagogue service, the weekly parshah is followed by a passage from the prophets, which is referred to as a haftarah.
Contrary to common misconception, "haftarah" does not mean "half-Torah." The word comes from the Hebrew root Feh-Tet-Resh and means "Concluding Portion".
Celebrants of life events are ordinarily given the last aliyah, which includes blessing the last part of the Torah reading as well as blessing the haftarah reading.

There are traditional Haftarah portions associated with each Torah portion and special ones for holy days.
The Haftarah is portions of writings from the Prophets that is read in the synagogue each Shabbat following the weekly Torah portion.
This is what God the LORD says - he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it (Isaiah 42:5).

The man who must debate with himself whether to be pious and stay in for the Haftorah or to go out and be part of the hip crowd is truly in a no-win situation.
Yet despite the benefits, there are some problems: For one thing, the whole purpose for congregating in the synagogue on Shabbat morning is to have some spiritual elevation on the holiest day of our week.
When exclusive cliques form within a congregation — where some are part of the in group, while others are outside the inner circle — this makes for an unhealthy social dynamic.

 Shabbat Parshat Beshalach - Rabbi Pinchas Frankel
The "Shoftim" can also be identified with the "Zekanim," the "Elders," to whom Yehoshua passed the Tradition of the Torah (according to the first Mishnah in Pirkei Avot), which he had received from his lifelong Master and Teacher, Moshe, who had himself received it from G-d on Mt. Sinai.
Devorah's style is described as "sitting under the date palm of Devorah," meaning that for reasons of "tzniut," or modesty, she did not wish to meet with male litigants in private.
The Period of the "Shoftim," translated partially correctly as "Judges," was a period of decline of central authority after the "reign" of Moshe and afterwards, Yehoshua, and prior to the beginning of the reign of Shaul, the first King of Israel.

And you shall be called by a new name which God shall designate." (Isaiah 62:2)
For the Lord takes delight in you, and your land shall be espoused" (Isaiah 62:4).

 Union for Reform Judaism - Chol HaMo-eid Pesach,5761
Another reason for the choice of this chapter as the haftarah reading during Passover might be the essential message of the Passover holiday and the Exodus from Egypt.
According to Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, many Jews believe that the creation of the State of Israel, which came about only three years after the end of the Shoah, represents the seeming fulfillment of Ezekiel's rather bizarre 2,600-year-old vision.
In what ways do they represent a form of resurrection or rebirth?

 The commentary of Nehama Leibowitz, Z'ts''l
NOTES In many congregations the Haftarah of Isaiah 66, 1-24 is read when this Sabbath falls on Rosh Hodesh, since this reading too contains a message of comfort to Zion.
The order and choice of these consolatory messages from the prophets has thus been homiletically explained in the Midrash.
49, 14): But Zion said: The Lord has forsaken me (the, opening words of the second Haftarah of Consolation, to Ekev), th'at is to say, refuses to accept the comforting talk of the prophets.

 Hamaayan / The Torah Spring - Reeh - Torah.org
The first haftarah after the 17th of Tammuz begins: "Divrei Yirmiyahu"/"The words of Jeremiah." Chazal teach that the verb "le'daber" (in contrast to "laimor") connotes harsh speech.
The second haftarah of calamity rebukes Bnei Yisrael for distancing themselves from the Torah: "[E]ven those charged with teaching Torah did not know Me." The haftarah for Re'eh counters: "All your children will be students of Hashem." And, in response to the calamitous verse (from the second haftarah), "Is Israel a slave?
for no longer shall there enter into you any uncircumcised or contaminated person." While the haftarah of calamity speaks of Israel as a victim of oppressors, the haftarah of consolation speaks of Israel's strength and glory.

The selections are somewhat flexible; in some weeks, for instance, the Ashkenazic and Sephardic communities read different selections, and the Reform community (in the Chumash edited by Gunther Plaut) has chosen some passages different from the older choices.
Communities could read portions of the Song as Haftarah portions -- perhaps during the weeks from Pesach to Shavuot, or at other times when the congregation chooses.
It might be used at any time when issues of hunger, homelessness, and tyranny are especially challenging.

The Hebrew word "Haftarah" (or "Haftorah") is also from the same root word.

In this case, both refer to supplementary readings in addition to the regular prayer service readings from the Torah; (4) Haftorah readings include: Joshua 5:2-6:1 (recited from the Ashkenazi Haftarah), or Joshua 5:2-6:1 (recited from the Sephardi Haftarah).

The core of festival and Sabbath prayer services is the public reading of the Torah, along with connected readings from the other books of the Jewish Bible, called Haftarah.
There are many minor holidays as well, including Purim, which celebrates the events told in the Biblical book of Esther, and Chanukkah, which is not established in the Bible but which celebrates the successful rebellion by the Maccabees against the Seleucid Empire.
During the course of a year, the full Torah is read, and the cycle begins again every autumn during Simhat Torah (“rejoicing in the Torah”).
