About this episode

This episode discusses the Haftorah reading from Isaiah 43:21–44:23, focusing on themes of idolatry, forgiveness, and God's promises.

This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Isaiah 43:21–44:23. It accompanies the Torah portion Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1–5:26). In this Haftorah the prophet castigates Israel for its idolatry and unfaithfulness, at the same time offering encouragement by assuring the people of God’s willingness to forgive their sins. This passage contains some of God’s powerful monotheistic declarations, along with marvelous promises about the redemption of His servant nation.Listen to Kei...
