"Torah Portion"

The Torah is the first five books of the Bible:
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy

There's an agreed upon schedule, and if you follow it, you'll read through the whole Torah in a year.  No matter what synagogue you go to, they would be reading the same "portion" or section of these books.  Some portions from the prophets and the New Testament (in Messianic synagogues) are part of the weekly reading plan.

You can find the corresponding Torah portions in the Bible reading plan in the Moedim App if you want to read and study on your own time.  Technically, the portions are for Saturday to Saturday, as you would hear them in the synagogue.  The reading plan for the app resets every Wednesday, though, and we read them live on Wednesdays too.  This way, they're ready to go for Saturday.  You can study ahead of time, watch on Saturday, and you have a couple grace days after each Saturday to catch up on the readings if you need it.

We wanted to make it easy for you, and Jose and I read and discuss the portions together in these videos.  We're not trying to be an authority in your religion, but an encouragement to help you with each portion.  I personally like listening to teachings while I clean or do other things around the house, which is what inspired reading the portions aloud for you. <3
