Weekly Readings · 2025-2026
Every Sabbath we read together: the פָּרָשָׁה parashah (the week's Torah portion) , the הַפְטָרָה haftarah (a matching reading from the Prophets) , and a passage from the בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה Brit Chadashah (the New Covenant) . The cycle begins again each fall at Sukkot. The whole year is below, in order, ready when you are.
