HAFTORA: (Additional portion, from Prophets, which is read after the Parsha)
�©ובה י�©�¨אל "Shuva Yisroel" – Hoshea / Hosea: 14:2-10; then we conclude with Yoel / Joel 2:11-27 (some add verses 7:18-20 from Micah).

The Shabbat between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur is called �©ב�× �©ובה - Shabbat Shuva (Lit. 'Shabbat of Return';) because the Haftorah which is read on this Shabbat begins with the words �©ובה י�©�¨אל Shuva Yisroel, (Repent O' Israel). Others call it Shabbat Teshuva (Repentance), as it falls in the Aseret Ymay Teshuva, (Ten Days of Repentance).
It is customary for the Rabbi of the Congregation to give a sermon on this Shabbat which includes the basic laws of Yom Kippur and Sukkot, and devoted to the theme of Teshuva and hopefully awaken and inspire people to correct their ways with Teshuva.
