foreign dear friends with your permission I would like to offer several thoughts of mine regarding the haftarah of past Shabbat regarding Shabbat you know which is behind us we call it Shabbat naham why because we will we read the aftara beginning with the words me saying comfort me Comfort me my people and of course the question is number one why do we call there are three Shabbat during the whole year in the whole year we have 54 parachute for each Shabbat right one for each Shabbat and three of all these 54 are named according to the haftarah the first one of course is the Shabbat that comes before tishabiad because we read hazon yes we call it Shabbat hazon that's the Shabbat before immediately after this comfort why because we read parashah after which begins with the words of Isaiah again like hazon hazon is the first chapter of Isaiah whereas this is this is chapter 4 God is calling upon us to comfort him to comfort Hashem to console him who's who's in need of consolation who is in need of comfort if not the Jewish people has suffered so much for at least 2 000 years Counting from the destruction of the second temple which is to be exact is 1954 or 55 years since our Temple beta mikdash was destroyed and because of that the Jewish people has been crying over that as it says in the book of psalmsion even before the the second destruction after the the first destruction we know of the Jewish people sitting and crying over the destruction and the same thing also we do the same in every teachable the Jewish people sit
