HAFTRAH
(Parting)
SCROLLS OF THE NEVI'EM הַפְטָרָה
The origin of the haftarah reading has been proposed to explain its role in Hebrew practice, suggesting it arose in response to the persecution of the readings of the Torah, wherein Torah reading was prohibited and Torah scrolls were destroyed.(Maccabean Revolt 167 BC ).
While it was forbidden to read the Torah portion,there was no such restriction regarding reading from the Nevi'em(prophets). Hence, reading from the scrolls of the Nevi'em was temporarily substituted and then became a tradition.
The Tanakh is publicly read in synagogues as part of the teachings. The haftarah reading follows the Torah reading on each Sabbath and the seven appointed Holy Days; the moedim.
Typically, the haftarah is thematically linked to the Torah portion that precedes it. The Haftarah is sung, and reciting scriptural texts with the prescribed melodies is known as"trope" in Hebrew or "cantillation" in English.Related blessings precede and follow the haftarah readings.

B'RIT CHADASHAH
New Testament
"B'rit Chadashah" in Hebrew is the New Testament, meaning "New Covenant." The word "B'rit"means "Covenant," and the word "Chadasha"means "New." Like the Tanakh(Hebrew Scriptures), the New Covenant can be divided into three main parts.
It is important to understand that the B'rit Chadashah is a fulfillment of the Old Covenant, but in this New Covenant, we are no longer required to offer animal sacrifices, for Y'shua has taken the sacrifice to the tree (the cross). We are no longer subjected to the law of sin and death.
In fact, the New Covenant is a rewrite of YHVH's Torah on our heart to worshiping Spirit and in Truth through His instruction of life. Y'shua showed us how to walk in YHVH's Torah.
Supporting Scriptures:
Jeremiah 31:31-34 (The Promise of the New Covenant):
"Behold, the days are coming, says YHVH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah... I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their King, and they will be My people." (Jeremiah 31:31–34)
This passage is a prophecy of the New Covenant, where YHVH promises to internalize His Torah, writing it on the hearts of His people. This is fulfilled in the B'rit Chadashah, as Y'shua's sacrifice and the work of the Shekinah enable us to live according to His ways.
