Haftarah
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: From Hebrew הַפְטָרָה (haftará), also through Yiddish הפֿטרה (haftore).
The alternative spellings with -or- and pronunciations with /ɔːɹ/ – which may appear even outside of Ashkenazi pronunciation traditions – may possibly be strengthened due to influence from Torah or reanalysis to half + Torah, as the haftarah follows the reading of the Torah and is of secondary importance.

examples: Recent scholars, on the other hand, without much show of reason, as it would appear, variously hold the Haftarah to have sprung from the sermon or homiletic exercise which accompanied the reading in the Pentateuch, and took its exordium (as Haftarah, by an extraordinary linguistic passage, adapted in a manner to the Mosaic text under consideration; or, again, they imagine the Haftarah to have taken its rise spontaneously during the exile itself, and that Ezra retained and enforced it in Palestine.
Every year between Tisha B'av and Rosh Hashanah, we read the Seven Haftarot of Consolation from Isaiah 40-61.
