Isaiah 60:1-22
This week's haftorah is the sixth of a series of seven "Haftarot of
Consolation." These seven haftarot commence on the Shabbat following Tisha b'Av and continue until Rosh Hashanah.
In glowing terms the prophet recounts descriptions of what will unfold during the Redemption. Beginning with the resurrection of the dead and the ingathering of the
exiles, continuing with the joy and abundance the Jewish people will then experience,
as well as the gifts that will be brought to G‑d from all of the nations of the world.
Finally, the Jewish nation will no longer be despised and derided, there will no longer be violence nor mourning, and G‑d will shine His everlasting light on His people.
