Confusion concerning Isaiah 53

[Vaneeza Malkah]

It has been brought to my attention that some are bothered by the fact that Isaiah 53 has been to said to be taken out of the Jewish Bibles. This in fact is not so, the Haftorah reading portion does not include Isaiah 53 for reasons unknown. For anyone who owns a CJB, you can look on page xlix for further information under the title Messianic adaptations.

[HaNotsri]

The haftoros were chosen because they have some relation or connection to the specific parasha hashavua. Yeshayahu 53 wasn't removed from anything, it was included because it couldn't be related to any of the parashos.

It's not a conspiracy of the rabbonim as some would like to think.
