Frequently asked questions
What is a parsha?
A parsha (also called a parashah or Torah portion) is one of the 54 weekly sections of the Torah read aloud in synagogue on Shabbat. The cycle begins after Simchat Torah and runs through the entire Five Books of Moses over the course of a year.
What are the aliyot listed on this page?
Each parsha is divided into seven aliyot (sections) for Shabbat morning. This page lists every aliyah with its chapter and verse range so you can see the full structure of the reading and practice any individual section.
What is the triennial cycle?
The triennial cycle divides each parsha into three portions read over a three-year rotation, so the full Torah is completed every three years instead of every year. Many Conservative and some Reform congregations follow this schedule.
Can I listen to the chanting for this parsha?
Yes. Click any aliyah or reading link on this page to open it in TropeTrainer, where you can hear the full chanting with trope cantillation marks, follow along with the Hebrew text, and practice at your own speed.
