Then they read from the Haftorah – selected scriptures from the Prophets in their Tanakh, the Hebrew scriptures, which Christians commonly call the Old Testament. But one chapter in Isaiah is never read, though it’s definitely a prophetic book. It’s STRIKING that there’s one chapter in particular which has been forbidden to ever be read in the synagogues. We’ll read that chapter today.
