For Jews the world over, weekly sections of the Five Books of Torah coupled with a matching extract of Prophets are read in synagogues on Shabbat, a tradition that has roots in the oldest Jewish communities. Across the course of a year, beginning at Simchat Torah, this enables all Jews to hear and learn the whole Torah together, in manageable weekly pieces, one section at a time. Five Books helps you to hear the parashat in full every week, coupled with a thought-provoking meditation on one of its messages, known as a D'var Torah.
