Genesis | | Orit ZeFiTret | | Breisheet (Bereshit)

The Book of Genesis (i.e., Sefer Bereshit [
)] is concerned with beginnings: the creation of the
universe and the origin of humanity. It quickly moves from universal history (Adam, Noah, Babel) to the
history of the Abraham, the first Hebrew. The remainder of the book focuses on the lives of the Hebrew
patriarachs, matriarchs and especially the story of Joseph. The book ends with the entire family of Jacob
migrating to Egypt to escape famine through the auspices of Joseph.
There are fifty chapters in Genesis, divided into twelve weekly readings:

Exodus | | Orit ZeTseAt | | Shemot

The Book of Exodus (i.e., Sefer Shemot [
)] tells the story of how the family of Jacob became a great
nation, Israel. The book tells of the "Hebrew Bondage," and subsequent deliverance with the 10 plagues by the
hand of the LORD. Moses leads the people out of Egypt, crossing the Red Sea. They arrive at Sinai, where
they receive the Torah. While Moses is on the mountain, the people worship a Golden Calf. The remainder of
the book describes the details and construction of the Mishkan (Tabernacle).
There are forty chapters in Exodus, divided into eleven weekly readings:

Leviticus | | Orit ZeLaeWaWiYan | | Vayikra

The Book of Leviticus (i.e., Sefer Vayikra [ )] is the book of the priesthood of ancient Israel,
concerning ritual and sacrificial laws pertaining to the Mishkan (tabernacle, and later the Temple). The book
describes the details of offering various sacrifices to the LORD, and especially emphasizes ritual purity and
holiness. In fact, nearly half of the 613 commandments of the Torah are found in this book (and much of the
Talmud is based on it).
There are twenty-seven chapters in Leviticus, divided into ten weekly readings:

Numbers | | Orit ZeHwilQwi | | Bamidbar

The Book of Numbers (i.e., Sefer Bemidbar [ )] details how the tribes of Israel were counted and
meticulously arranged into military camp formation around the Mishkan (tabernacle). Led by the Shechinah
cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, at first they were en route to the Promised Land - the land of
Canaan - which the LORD swore to give to Abraham and his descendants forever. However, the people
rebelled and were condemned to wander for 40 years in the desert.
There are thirty-six chapters in Numbers, divided into ten weekly readings:

Deuteronomy | | Orit ZeDaGim | | Devarim

In the final book of Torah, Sefer ha'Devarim () , Moses reviews the history and the laws given to the
Israelite people (the Greek name Deuteronomy comes from the phrase Mishneh haTorah (Deut. 17:18), which
means "the second telling of the law"). Obeying God's laws will bring blessing, while spurning them will bring
disaster. Idolatry is repeatedly denounced.
There are thirty-four chapters in Deuteronomy, divided into eleven weekly readings.

* Portions marked with an asterisk may be added to the following week's readings.
There are 54 Torah portions, one for each week of a leap year, so that in the course of a year, beginning and
ending on the Simchat Torah, we read the entire Torah in our services. During non-leap years, there are 50
weeks, so some of the shorter portions are doubled up (a leap-year adds an additional month (4 weeks) to the
usual 12 (called Adar II); a Jewish calendar will indicate if a year is a leap year).
During the weeks of Passover and Sukkot, different Torah portions are read, so on leap years that leaves 52
weeks for the 54 readings (2 weeks have double portions), and on non leap years, 48 weeks for the 54 (6
weeks have double portions).

ADDITIONAL PARASHIOT FOR HOLIDAYS

Below are additional readings for holidays and special shabbats. Note that on holidays,
the maftir (M) portion is different than the usual O Orit (Torah) Nbab reading. Also,
Hosea 14:13 remind us that in Christ in His Kingly character, or the Messianic
dispensation, spiritual prayers and praise are preferred by the Almighty God to the former
Old Testament animal and blood sacrifices. (Refer to the Epistle to the Hebrews)
A yearly supplemental calendar for Hebraic-Judaic Year that contains the exact lunar
reckoning and the Western dates for the following Holy Days has been created and and
modified for easiest usage by Newcomers and Beginner level disciples. The beginning of
Torah readings and the New Year is marked on and after the Simchat Torah and the first
reading for the current year is charted from that Holy Day. Thus, this yearly lunar
reckoning/ Western dates and orientation may also be found online under the heading of
Hebraic-Judaic Year.
