This article is about the divisions of the Torah into weekly readings. For this week's Torah portion, see Torah portion
The weekly Torah portion ' onMouseout='HidePop("58266")' href="/topics/Seder_(Bible)">Sidra

(Hebrew Bible
) read in Jewish services
. In Judaism
, the Torah
is read publicly
over the course of a year, with one major portion read each week in the Shabbat
morning service.
Each weekly Torah portion adopts its name from one of the first unique words
in the Hebrew text. Dating back to the time of the Babylonian captivity
(6th century BCE), public Torah reading mostly followed an annual cycle beginning and ending on the Jewish holiday
of Simchat Torah
, with the Torah divided into 54 weekly portions to correspond to the lunisolar
Hebrew calendar
, which contains up to 55 weeks, the exact number varying between leap years and regular years.
There was also an ancient triennial cycle
of readings practiced in some parts of the world. In the 19th and 20th centuries, many congregations in the Reform
and Conservative
Jewish movements have implemented an alternative triennial cycle in which only one-third of each weekly parashah is read in a given year; the parashot read are still consistent with the annual cycle but the entire Torah is completed over three years.
Due to different lengths of holidays in Israel and the Diaspora
, the portion that is read on a particular week will sometimes not be the same inside and outside Israel.
