Participate In Our Annual Scripture Reading Plan
Study The Scriptures With Us
Each week, Beth Israel joins the Jewish people worldwide in following the traditional schedule of Torah, Haftarah, and B’rit Chadasha (New Covenant) readings. In preparation for Shabbat, our community reads these portions in advance so that when we gather, we are united in God’s Word and ready to learn together. Rabbi David’s weekly messages are drawn from the Torah portion, offering deeper understanding and practical application for our lives.
Below you’ll find the weekly readings along with a downloadable PDF that you can save or print for personal study. Printed copies are also available at the Beth Israel Welcome Desk.
