Prophetic Voices: Renewing and Reimagining Haftarah, edited by Rabbi Barbara AB Symons
Save on both of CCAR Press's resources for studying haftarah in this discounted bundle. The classic full-text Hebrew, translation, and commentary in The Haftarah Commentary is paired with contemporary commentaries and new haftarot in Prophetic Voices. Taken together, they are the perfect resource for delving deeper into the Jewish Bible.
The Haftarah Commentary is a comprehensive translation of the weekly selections from the Prophets and Writings, complete with meticulously cantillated Hebrew text, commentary, translations, essays, gleanings from sources modern and ancient, notes, glossary, bibliography, and additional selections for use as alternatives to the traditional haftarot.
Prophetic Voices gives new life to the ancient prophetic texts. A diverse group of contributors--including rabbis, cantors, scholars, educators, activists, and poets--provide short commentaries on each haftarah, demonstrating their profound relevance to the present. Going beyond the Prophets, Prophetic Voices also presents alternative readings from Jewish texts biblical to contemporary. New haftarot for each Shabbat and holiday are included, plus haftarot for the Jewish American calendar, from Yom HaShoah to Pride Month to Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Prophetic Voices boldly invites us to rethink the haftarah canon.
