Neviim (which include both prophetic writings and historical books) are also read that fit the theme of the Torah reading. The Torah portion is called the parashah (par-a-SHAH, pl. parashot; par-a-SHOTE), and the reading from the Neviim is called the haftarah (haf-ta-RAH, pl. haftarot; haf-ta-ROTE), which means “completion.”
