Haftarah for Parshat Ki Tavo

Isaiah 60:1 – 22

This haftarah does not relate directly to the parsha. Rather it is the 6th of the seven haftarahs of consolation that are read after Tisha B’Av. All of these haftarahs are taken from Isaiah.

The prophet speaks of a future time when all the nations of the world will recognize God. They will see the light of the Jewish people and of Jerusalem. This will be the final redemption of the world and it will last forever.
