What is Haftarah?
The Scriptures are more than the Torah. After the Torah is read in the synagogue, the congregation hears the haftarah, which literally means "the conclusion." Haftarah comes from the Neviim, the Prophetic books, the second part of the Hebrew Bible, the Tanach. It is read from a Hebrew Bible.
The Torah is read sequentially, from Creation to the death of Moses. But the haftarah is read selectively, from any number of prophetic and historical books. Those haftarah passages were chosen because of their thematic connection to the Torah text.
