Frequently Asked Questions About Shabbat Nachamu
Shabbat Nachamu (Shabbat of Comfort) is the Shabbat immediately following Tisha B'Av. It takes its name from the haftarah reading that begins 'Nachamu, nachamu ami' (Comfort, comfort My people) from Isaiah 40. It is the first of seven haftarot of consolation read between Tisha B'Av and Rosh Hashanah.
The seven Shabbatot between Tisha B'Av and Rosh Hashanah each feature a haftarah from Isaiah with themes of comfort and redemption. This progression moves the community from mourning the destruction of the Temple to hope and renewal before the High Holidays. Shabbat Nachamu, with its powerful opening call of double comfort, marks the turning point from grief to consolation.
