Torah Readings

The Parsha (or Parashah) is the weekly Torah portion read in synagogues throughout the world. It is read along with the Haftarah, a selection from other parts of the Hebrew scriptures, selected for thematic connection. We have also provided suggestions for readings from the B’rit Hadashah, the New Testament.

These are the normal parsha readings for an entire year. If a week falls during a holiday, the normal reading schedule can be interrupted by special holiday readings. As a result two parashot can be scheduled during other weeks. You may view a full schedule for this year provided by First Fruits of Zion at TorahPortions.org.
