Yirmiyah ben Ḥilkiyah haKohen
Yirmiyah (or Jeremiah, Hebrew: יִרְמְיָהוּ, Yirmĭyāhū; Greek: Ἰερεμίας; Arabic: إرميا Irmiyā meaning "Yah Exalts", circa late 7th century through early 6th century), also called the "Weeping prophet", is one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition, Yirmiyah authored Sefer Yirmiyahu (the book of Jeremiah), Melakhim (the books of Kings), and Megillat Eikhah (the Scroll/Book of Lamentations), together with the assistance and under the editorship of Barukh ben Neriyah, his scribe and disciple.

💬 Alternate Haftarah for Yom ha-Atsma’ut (Jeremiah 30:1-22)
Contributed by Yirmiyah ben Ḥilkiyah haKohen | Isaac Gantwerk Mayer (translation) | ❧
The thirtieth chapter of Jeremiah is exceedingly appropriate for Yom ha-Atsma’ut, considering its emphasis on returning from exile and the importance of self-rule. It strikes me as one of the most Zionist (with a capital Z) chapters in the entirety of Neviïm. . . .
