Haphtorah is a Hebrew word that pertains to the reading selection that follows the Torah reading during a Jewish service. However, there are several synonyms for "Haphtorah" that can be used interchangeably when discussing this religious practice. Some of the commonly used synonyms include Haftarah, Haftorah, and Haftereh. In some Jewish circles, the term "Prophets" is also used to refer to the same practice. Regardless of which term is used, the practice remains the same - a reading from the Prophets, traditionally chanted or sung to a specific melody, following the reading of the Torah portion during the Jewish service.
