This is an English translation of the Haftarah reading for the second day of Rosh haShanah (Jeremiah 31:1-19), transtropilated (a term coined by Fellman to describe texts where the Masoretic cantillation has been applied to the translation). This translation of the Rosh Hashanah Haftarah reading is based on the translations of Aryeh Kaplan ‘The Living Torah’, the Stone Edition Tanach, The Artscroll Machzor, and The Jerusalem Bible. The cantillation is based on the Hebrew version chanted by Moshe Haschel in ‘Navigating the Bible II’.

  Bio: Len Fellman is a mathematician, educator, and innovator of "transtropilation," the process of translating from cantillized Hebrew, as closely as possible, “word for word and trōp for trōp”, with the main purpose being to aid a person with minimal Hebrew training in following the Hebrew leyning of the Torah and Haftarah readings word for word.
