This conversation with Rabbanit Dr. Adina Sternberg explores the Haftorah from the book of Malachi, a short prophetic work from the early Second Temple period. The returnees have become jaded with a reality they perceive as lacking divine presence and the prophet rebukes their lackluster worship and subtly encourages them that while the presence of God may not have arrived in the expected guise, He still loves them. Malachi's messages are relevant now as ever.

Episode 240 - Parshat Lech Lecha: The Seed of Avraham (Yeshayahu 40-41)
This week's Haftorah returns to the beginning section of the second half of Yeshayahu with beloved Tanakh teacher and pedagogue R. Menachem Leibtag. Why do we find ourselves in Yeshayahu again and what does it have to do with Avraham's journey to Canaan? What is unique about the word 'eved' in Tanakh?
R. Liebtag's favorite Haftora pasuk is from Yirmiyahu 31:19, 'ha-ben yakir li Ephraim' which speaks about God's love for His child Ephraim (the people of Israel) and who He has mercy on. We were moved by this version of the hallmark melody, recorded by the family of Binyamin Schreiber z"l who died on the 23rd of Nissan, 2025.
