Performed by Reverend Abraham Lopes Cardozo
Divre Yermiyahu (Jeremiah 1:1-9)
Melody for the haftarah (additional readings from the Prophets) on Shabbat Divre, one of the three Sabbaths in the Three Weeks, a period of mourning spanning from the Seventeenth of Tammuz to the Ninth of Av. The subdued, mournful style of this melody recalls the musical characteristics of the chanting of qinnot (dirges) for the Ninth of Av.
