The week of Elul 17-23, and Sept 3-9, we read parashat Nitzavim and Vayalech. This covers from Devarim 29:9 to 31:30, a shorter parasha of only 70 verses [the average parasha I believe is about 105 verses]. The haftarah is very interesting so we will do a brief brief recap of the Torah, a short overview and move in to the last Haftarah of the year. Of course it is from Isaiah, as the last 9 have been. These 10 final haftarahs of the year are all from Isaiah, finishing the 7 weeks of consolation from Tisha b'Av. I'll be covering an extended portion that is not read traditionally and cover why I believe they don't read it in most synagogues. It is Isaiah 61:10 to 63:9 traditionally, but as believers in Yeshua we prefer to read from 61:1 all the way to 63:9. But we'll share more about that in a bit. So we want to finish the year and this marathon through the haftarot strong so let's get started! Please write to us with comments, ideas or questions at FootStepsOfTheMessiah@gmail.com. L'SHANAH TOVAH U'MTUKAH!
