MAFTIR

Main articles: Torah reading

'''Maftir''' (Hebrew: מפטיר), informally, refers to the final section of the weekly ''parsha'' read on Shabbat and holiday mornings in synagogue from a Torah scroll; technically, it means the person who is called to read that section. The maftir section of a Torah portion is usually a repetition of either the last part, or the entirety of the previous reading. Exceptions include holidays and special Shabbatot. On these occasions, the maftir portion can be found in other parts of the Torah. That person then reads the ''haftarah'' from a related section of the Nevi'im.
