Haftorah Summary for Parshas Pinchas

Jeremiah 1:1 – 2:3 Tlas Diparanuta is the name given to the next three Haftoros. These are special selections from the Navi Yirmiyahu that were chosen because they prophesies the destruction of Yerushalayim and the 1st Beit Hamikdash.

In this Haftorah, Yirmiyahu HaNavi foretells of the Babylonian invasion. The condemnation of the Jews for abandoning G-d and Torah is somewhat softened by the concluding description of Hashem’s love for His children. “I remember the devotedness of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.” as if we are given permission to envision the tears of the Creator as He confronts His beloved’s infidelity.
