בּראשׁית -"In the Beginning" |

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Cycles. Repetitions. Birth. Death. Rebirth.
Scripture gives us many examples of cyclical patterns: days, months, years, the moedim, the daily prayers, and even life itself.
In that spirit, Ezra and the men of the Great Assembly established a periodic schedule of readings of the Torah along with corresponding readings from the Neviim and Ketuvim. In this cycle, the Torah is sectioned into weekly readings each called a parashah. This provides a yearly cycle through which we can read, study, and learn about the entire Torah.
Some take this cycle and apply it to a three-year period which allows for a more in-depth study of each portion. The articles below provide information about each parashah as well as Messianic insights and other observations within each portion.
