It is fun to share the beauty that is all around us, which we often take for granted because it is just there all the time. <br /><br />Sara, hope you can get back to Jerusalem again someday. These days the guided tours of the Chagall windows are played on a tape. You can choose your language. <br /><br />Eki, the general greeting on the holidays (or at least the happy ones) is Chag saMEH-ach, meaning just Happy holiday. <br /><br />The Torah (Pentateuch) is divided into 54 readings, each called a parasha. Each week has its own scheduled parasha. And to it is added a selected portion from the Prophets section of the Bible. <br /><br />The public reading of the Torah is done on Shabbat (Saturday), Monday, and Thursday. Monday and Thursday were shuk days, when in ancient Israel people would come to the market to buy food and also to hear the reading of the Torah.<br /><br />The cycle is completed in one year in Orthodox synagogues. But I think most Liberal Jewish congregations are on a 3-year cycle. <br /><br />This public reading (chanting) of the Torah should be in addition to one daily STUDY of Torah.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-79746212994620417422009-10-10T10:12:18.930+02:002009-10-10T10:12:18.930+02:00I love seeing all these gorgeous and spiritual wor...I love seeing all these gorgeous and spiritual works of art.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-78908488055754848102009-10-10T10:05:18.125+02:002009-10-10T10:05:18.125+02:00Again much information that was new to me, but for...Again much information that was new to me, but forgive if I fell for the windows by Chagall.

Are there any prescription as to how many verses should be read per day so that it will be completed within a year?<br /><br />Anyway, it's always a fascinating read when you're posting about Jewish traditions because I don't know much about it. <br /><br />Thanks, Dina.Ekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128624439430370669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-38534940026026464642009-10-10T05:24:01.940+02:002009-10-10T05:24:01.940+02:00Shabbat Shalom!
