סיכום - Summary
- The Torah reading for Shemini Atzeret deals with a variety of laws which Israel must fulfill when they settle in their own land. These laws will help guarantee justice for all of the people. Among them are the following: Tithes, Year of Release, Release of Hebrew Slaves, and the observance of the Three Pilgrimage Festivals.
- The Torah reading for Simchat Torah brings to a close the Five Books of the Torah. It consists of a final Blessing Poem of Moses and the report of Moses' death on Mt. Nebo.
- On Simchat Torah we complete the Torah reading cycle and we begin it anew. The Creation story is read to mark the renewed cycle for the year ahead.
- On Shabbat we read the full portion of Bereshit. It contains the following: The origin of the universe and the human race, the story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden and the story of Cain and Able.
