Parashah

Bet Am Shalom follows the triennial cycle for Torah readings: In this practice, the lengthy Torah portion of the week is divided into thirds. Although the entire portion is studied, only a third of the portion is read aloud at services, third by third in a three-year cycle.

We are now in the second year of the cycle; see attachment below for the actual verses to be chanted on each Shabbat and on certain holidays.
