Haftarah for Parshat Reeh

Isaiah 54:11 – 55:5

This haftarah does not relate directly to the parsha. Rather it is the 3rd of the seven haftarahs of consolation that are read after Tisha B’Av. All of these haftarahs are taken from Isaiah.

The prophet reminds the Jewish people that they have a bright future. There will come a time of peace, tranquility, and plenty. Those who opposed the Jewish people will be vanquished and Messiah, a descendant of David, will reign.
