Each Shabbat, we read a specific Torah portion (Parashah), divided into seven aliyot. Our Sages teach that each week's portion carries the unique spiritual energy for that time of year. Following an ancient tradition, our community uses a triennial cycle, reading through the entire Torah over the course of three years.
Haftarah, which literally means "taking leave," is read on Shabbat following the Torah portion. Selected from the books of the Prophets, these passages typically share a thematic connection with the week's Torah reading. While custom varies across Jewish communities, our congregation follows the Sephardic tradition.
Because Diaspora communities observe eight days for major festivals rather than the seven observed in Israel, the weekly Torah readings in Israel and the Diaspora occasionally fall out of sync for several weeks. Kabbalah teaches that each Parashah conveys the specific spiritual energy flowing into the world that week. To remain aligned with that primary source, our community follows the Torah reading cycle of Eretz Yisrael (the Land of Israel).
Your tzedakah enables us to offer meaningful services, study opportunities, and freely share our Kabbalah4All Siddur with the world. As a spiritual partner in our mission, your generosity directly sustains this community. Thank you for your support.
