About the Book

Here's what critics are saying about Rabbi Simon's book: "In Understanding the Haftarot Chuck Simon has made the Prophets come alive. With his knowledge of Biblical history and keen sense of drama, Simon gives context and familiarity to the men and scenes of the Haftarot. I recommend this book to all who are seeking deeper understanding and clarity of sequence in the weekly prophetic readings." Cantor Nancy Abramson, Director, H. L. Miller Cantorial School Jewish Theological Seminary "Rabbi Simon has provided a valuable contribution toward garnering spiritual meaning from our comprehensive Shabbat liturgy. Rather than viewing the Haftarah cycle as a random array of sacred texts, he has constructed a useful and inspiring framework. Combining historical context with thematic assessments, this volume brings the weekly Haftarah to life. Side-by-side with the Torah portion, these prophetic readings are intended both to elevate the soul and to strengthen our ties to Jewish Peoplehood, past and future." Rabbi Alan Silverstein Current Chair of the Foundation for Masorti Judaism, Past President of both the Rabbinical Assembly and of the World Council of Conservative/Masorti Synagogues
