T<\/span>he Haftarot recited between the 17th of Tammuz and Sukkot relate not to the weekly Torah reading, but instead to the workings of the covenant between God, His people, His Land, and humanity. After the Temple\u2019s destruction described in the Haftarot of the \u201cThree of Affliction\u201d (\u05ea\u05dc\u05ea \u05d3\u05e4\u05d5\u05e8\u05e2\u05e0\u05d5\u05ea\u05d0) and Tisha B\u2019Av, the \u201cSeven of Comfort\u201d (\u05e9\u05d1\u05e2 \u05d3\u05e0\u05d7\u05de\u05ea\u05d0) comforted the exiled Jewish people, assuring their eventual glorious redemption. Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the <\/span>\u201cTwo of Repentance\u201d (Aramaic: \u05ea\u05e8\u05ea\u05d9 \u05d3\u05ea\u05d9\u05d5\u05d1\u05ea\u05d0)<\/b>– recited on Tzom Gedaliah (by Ashkenazim only) and Shabbat Shuva- encourage the people to repent in order to achieve the promised redemption.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two of Repentance #1 (Tzom Gedaliah): Isaiah 55:6-56:8<\/b><\/p>\n

Ashkenazim recite this Haftarah during mincha in accordance with their practice to recite it during mincha of every fast day (other than Yom Kippur) to encourage righteous acts and giving charity on fast day afternoons.<\/span> During the Ten Days of Repentance, however, this Haftarah also serves as the first of the \u201cTwo of Repentance.\u201d<\/span> Indeed, the Talmud and Maimonides identify the time in its opening verse for individuals \u201cto seek God while He may be found\u201d as the \u201cTen Days of Repentance\u201d between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Haftarah is one of the prophecies of the final third of the book of Isaiah. Overall, these prophecies address Israelites in exile: Northern Kingdom exiles in Assyria, future Judean exiles in Babylon, and more. The Haftarah, in particular, addresses exiles whose thoughts and deeds are sinful and wrong, as well as others who fear that God has cut them off despite their loyalty to Him. Isaiah tells them that God\u2019s thoughts and deeds are far exalted above theirs, and that His promise to save them soon is inviolable. To deserve redemption by God who is both righteous and forgiving, they must return to Him by abandoning evil, pursuing righteousness in society, and observing the Sabbath. God will then accept their repentance and end their exile. Their journey home to the Land will be joyful and peaceful, heralded by nature and permanently changing it. The exiles, those loyal to God who nonetheless fear that He has cut them off, and all nations devoted to God will return to the Temple, a House of prayer, joy, sacrifices, and eternal closeness to God. God will gather ever more devotees unto them and Him.<\/span><\/p>\n
