  • Torah is divided into 54 portions for weekly reading in synagogue
  • There are also special readings for holidays and other days

Reading Rockets is a national multimedia project that offers a wealth of research-based reading strategies, lessons, and activities designed to help young children learn how to read and read better. Our reading resources assist parents, teachers, and other educators in helping struggling readers build fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills. If you want to know the reading for this week, check the Current Calendar. There are additional special readings for certain holidays and other special days, listed in a separate table below. Parshah Torah Haftarah Bereishit Genesis 1:1-6:8 Isaiah 42:5-43:11 (Isaiah 42:5-42:21) Noach Genesis 6:9-11:32 Isaiah 54:1-55:5 (Isaiah 54:1-10) Lekh Lekha.

Each week in synagogue, we read (or, more accurately, chant, because it is sung) a passage from the Torah. This passage is referred to as a parshah. The first parshah, for example, is Parshat Bereishit, which covers from the beginning of Genesis to the story of Noah. There are 54 parshahs, one for each week of a leap year, so that in the course of a year, we read the entire Torah (Genesis to Deuteronomy) in our services. During non-leap years, there are 50 weeks, so some of the shorter portions are doubled up. We read the last portion of the Torah right before a holiday called Simchat Torah (Rejoicing in the Law), which occurs in October, a few weeks after Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year). On Simchat Torah, we read the last portion of the Torah, and proceed immediately to the first paragraph of Genesis, showing that the Torah is a circle, and never ends.

In the synagogue service, the weekly parshah is followed by a passage from the prophets, which is referred to as a haftarah. Contrary to common misconception, 'haftarah' does not mean 'half-Torah.' The word comes from the Hebrew root Fei-Teit-Reish and means 'Concluding Portion'. Usually, haftarah portion is no longer than one chapter, and has some relation to the Torah portion of the week.

The Torah and haftarah readings are performed with great ceremony: the Torah is paraded around the room before it is brought to rest on the bimah (podium). The reading is divided up into portions, and various members of the congregation have the honor of reciting a blessing over a portion of the reading. This honor is referred to as an aliyah (literally, ascension).

Reading

The first aliyah of any day's reading is reserved for a kohein, the second for a Levite, and priority for subsequent aliyot are given to people celebrating major life events, such as marriage or the birth of a child. In fact, a Bar Mitzvah was originally nothing more than the first aliyah of a boy who had reached the age to be permitted such an honor. Celebrants of life events are ordinarily given the last aliyah, which includes blessing the last part of the Torah reading as well as blessing the haftarah reading. The person given this honor is referred to as the maftir, from the same root as haftarah, meaning 'the one who concludes.'

For more information about services, see Jewish Liturgy.

Jewish scriptures are sometimes bound in a form that corresponds to this division into weekly readings. Scriptures bound in this way are generally referred to as a chumash. The word 'chumash' comes from the Hebrew word meaning five, and refers to the five books of the Torah. Sometimes, a chumash is simply refers to a collection of the five books of the Torah. But often, a chumash contains the entire first five books, divided up by the weekly parshiyot, with the haftarah portion for each week inserted immediately after the week's parshah.

Below is a table of the regular weekly scriptural readings. Haftarot in parentheses indicate Sephardic ritual where it differs from Ashkenazic. There are other variations on the readings, but these are the most commonly used ones. If you want to know the reading for this week, check the Current Calendar.

Reading 101: A Guide to Teaching Reading and Writing

Parent–teacher conferences

Week 11 Reflection Guided Reading 101 Reading

Parent–teacher conferences. Yikes. Just thinking of the term scared me. In college and graduate school, we learned about different learning styles and philosophies. One thing we had not really focused on was how to deal with parents. Our professors told us that was something that we would learn on the job. Whether I liked it or not, it was now time for me to learn how to handle parents and discuss student progress with them.

Being a first year teacher, I was very intimidated by the thought of meeting with parents. I worried whether or not they were going to take me seriously. I thought, 'Here they are, 'veteran' parents who know their children very well, and here am I, a 23 year old teacher with no prior teaching experience, trying to talk to the parents as if I had done this a thousand times before.' Before conferences, I made sure that I was totally prepared. I had a portfolio for each student, filled with examples of work that would clearly present their academic development. If a parent asked me a question about his/her child, I needed to be able to answer it. The last thing I wanted to do was look like I did not know what was going on. Even though I had been assessing my students throughout the marking period, and I knew where each one stood, I began to underestimate myself once I thought of discussing that information with the parents.

Week 11 Reflection Guided Reading 101 3rd Edition

As my first conference began, I was amazed at how easy it was to talk to the parents. We were both there for the same reason: to make sure the student was learning and was happy being in school. It must have been quite apparent that the children's success was important to me, because the parents were pleased with what I had been doing in the classroom. Since I prepared portfolios, I was able to answer questions with ease. As I finished each conference, I felt more and more confident. Parents were not as scary as I had thought they would be. In fact, they were very supportive and took me very seriously. What a relief!

While I may be just a first year teacher, I am also very hard working and dedicated to what I do. As a result, my students benefit from my effort. They are learning and they enjoy being in school. Parents also see this, and appreciate what I do for the students. Whether a teacher has been teaching for one or ten years, if he/she puts in 110% like I have been doing, then there will be success. It may have taken me eighteen conferences to realize this, but I am happy that I have!
