Bamidbar | "Say to your brothers Ammi?", by Rav Eli Weber 

Hoshea 2: 1-22

The Haftara for Bamidbar, from Hosea chapter 2, is simultaneously a prophecy of devastation and of hope. Through the striking metaphor of a faithless wife who ultimately returns, and culminating in the well-known verse of eirusin (betrothal), Hosea delivers an urgent message: God's covenant with Israel — and our hold on the Land — is conditional. An engagement is not yet a marriage.
