BERCHOT HA HAFATARAH
�Blessed are You, O Lord, our God, King of the universe, Who has chosen good prophets, and was pleased with their words of truth. Blessed are You, Lord, Who chooses Torah, Moses His servant, Israel, His nation, and the prophets of truth and righteousness.�
This image is an expression of the blessings chanted before a selection from the books of the prophets is chanted at the Sabbath service. These selections are connected to the specific Torah portion of the week in content and/or lesson.
During our exiles, only the words of the prophets dared to be studied. The darkness at the bottom of the painting personifies the exile with only the prophetic words breaking through it. The words are the metallic colored bars dripping down through the darkness. There are eighteen of them, the numeric equivalent for the word for life, �chai.� The prophets� words helped keep our people alive during those dark times without the benefit of our Torah.
The actual Haftarah trope marks (to guide the chanter in proper cantillation,) are seen in black against the red realm representing God and his holy kingdom.
The three circles exemplify the Torah, Israel, the nation, and the prophets, including Moses�.the three things we bless that God has chosen for His people.
