A series on the Haftarah
This collection of thirty classes focuses on the haftarah — the prophetic reading paired with each week's parsha and read aloud on Shabbos morning. It is a part of the tefillah that many people hear every week but rarely stop to study, and this series is built to close that gap.
Rabbi Glatstein's approach ties the words of the navi back to the parsha they accompany and to the deeper themes Chazal draw out of them. The haftarah stops being a postscript to the Torah reading and becomes a rich text in its own right.
About Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein is the rav of Kehilas Tiferes Mordechai in Cedarhurst, New York, a sought-after international lecturer, and a remarkably prolific author of seforim in both English and Hebrew. His name is well known across the Torah world for the sheer breadth of his output.
His signature is the way he weaves together sources — Midrash, Kabbalah, and a vast range of meforshim — into a single flowing, inspiring shiur. He is admired precisely because he brings depth and beauty together rather than trading one for the other.
What the haftarah series offers
Because the haftaros are so often under-learned, a dedicated series like this fills a real need. It supplies the historical setting, the meaning of the prophecy, and the connection to the parsha that most people never encounter.
The practical payoff is a richer Shabbos morning. Understanding the haftarah deepens the davening itself and adds a whole extra layer of meaning to the weekly Torah reading it accompanies.
