Torah Parsha

One might ask why post the order of Torah study? First it would be on our part very disrespectful to YaHWeH our Elohim to assume we have been given the book of life and no ordered lesson plans, knowing all good human teachers use them. Why then would we of Yisrael think we were on our own in establishing an ordered plan for these Instructions-Torah reading on each set apart day. The Parshas have always been apart of the old ways established by the scribes, Yirmeyahu-Jeremiah 18:15 the simple way. Each of the Moadim have the commandment of a Miqra Kodesh-an assembly set apart for readings. We parsh-seperate the Scripture to establish an ordered reading for the Shabbats. The word Parsha is a primary root which means to separate, disperse, specify. In Vayikra-Lev. 24:12, the word parsha is translated as "showed", where Moshe is asking for understanding in the matter of one caught blaspheming the name of YaHWeH. In B‘Midbar-Num.15:34, one found gathering sticks (to light-build a fire, do not this) on Shabbat, to Parsha-"declare" what was to be done. Nechemyah-Nehemiah 8:8, so they read in the scroll of the Torah of Elohim the Parsha-"distinctly", and back in verse 2, and it was the first day of the seventh month, meaning it was Yom Teruah-Trumpets, (and Rosh Chodesh) so the Torah Parshas for that day were read. History indicates that these Parshas were established by the Scribes before this time, their names derived from the first words in each Parsha.The history of Brit Chadash-New testament confirms these Parshas were being read in the assemblies-churches in Maaseh Shlichim-Acts 15:21, (those returning to Elohim) to hold back from pollutions of the idols, and fornication, and the strangled, and blood for Moshe from ancient times, every generation, in every city, he has those proclaiming him-(Torah of Moshe, which is the Word of YaHWeH) in the synagogues-or assemblies on every Shabbat. This is understood from the Greek Interlinear. The four listed requirements bring a person into basic kadosh-set apartness that the people of the assemblies may have fellowship and eat together and learn Moshe. In addition there are Parshas listed for each of the Kadosh Days-Moadim.

The Haftarah Parsha's are readings from the Prophets Ma'aseh Shlichim-Acts 13:27. These readings may differ somewhat according to differing traditions.

The Brit Chadashah-New Testament readings were established according to subject content and added at a later date, and may differ from teacher to teacher.

The Haftarah and the Brit Chadashah-New Testament parshas compliment the Torah parsha for that Shabbat. These Parshas are best done in each group with all participating, including children in an order that is best for that group which will establish a CUSTOM-TRADITION for future generations.

The lunar calendar determines the months for Yisrael and the solar for the annual cycle. The month Aviv (first month) determines when the year begins, which means the seasons must be kept in their proper time. For the barley must be ripe for the wave sheaf offering, after the first day of unleavened bread. The extra month of Adar (to expand) is added in the leap year which can occur seven years out of a nineteen year cycle which is called the Hebrew calendar. This is determined by the concurrent Aviv and New Moon. If the Aviv and New Moon do not occur together after the 12th month, second Adar is added, hence a thirteenth month. By following this calendar we maintain the seasons in their Moadim-appointed times. This method adds 4 to 5 Shabbat's in the leap year, and you may see notes in some of the Parshas indicating their individual or combined readings. Bat-Tzion follows the triennial cycle, so the parashot listed below are further broken up into thirds. Currently, we are in the middle third, the second year of the cycle. The readings are posted on the home page under "parsha".

Torah Parsha Blessing before reading:

Blessed are You YaHWeH, our Elohim, King of the universe, Who selected us from all the people and gave us His Torah-Instructions. Blessed are You, YaHWeH, Giver of the Torah, and now may we Shema-hear and understand.

After the readings:

Blessed are You YaHWeH our Elohim, King of the universe, Who has given us Instructions of truth and faithful prophets and planted eternal life in our midst, Blessed are you YaHWeH, Giver of the Torah. It is a Tree of life to those who take hold of it, and those who support its ways. All its ways are ways of pleasantness and all its paths are peace. Bring us back YaHWeH to You, and we shall come, renew our days as of old, Berakah-to kneel, bow, to bless.
