Can I clarify something, my torah reading was Deuteronomy 26:1-29:8 and the Haftara portion is Isaiah 60:1-60:22

So what does the last numbers refer to? Does it mean read Deuteronomy chapter 26, verses 1 to 29 - and then chapter 8?

Are these the readings for your birth year? and what is the Haftarah?

I heard that each day and year has a name, like September 11 1999, is named 'The year when everything changes' and also 'The year when the judgement of the nations begins' - this is from memory so may be slightly incorrect - but is it true? and is there a site that would calculate it?

Has anyone else read yours and does it speak to you in a special way? Mine sure did. It brough tears to my eyes, and even one part was a part that I think about a lot and now I guess I know why. :)

LOL, I discovered that I had the first bit of my Torah Portion mostly memorized!

:wave: Shalom All! This is really cool.

Go and find out what the Torah portion was for the day you were born.

Find your birth parsha


You will also find out if you were born on Shabbat or not ( in case you didn't know).

:)

I have seen this site before, but I only looked up my kids information, never my own...so this time I checked out mine and I was born on <gulp> Yom Kippur! :eek: Hmmmm....does that mean something? Well, anyway, I read through the torah portion and it is funny, the relation I have to some of these particular verses. Especially the last one: Is 58:13-14, we say that every erev Shabbat in our home, it is in my little Shabbat booklet I made for us to use as a family. Thanks for sharing that site again...very interesting!
Shalom~

Ki Tetse

D'varim 21:10-25:19

21:10
When you wage war against your enemies, God will give you victory over them, so that you will take captives.

11
and you see among the prisoners a woman who looks good to you, and you feel attracted to her and want her as your wife;

15
"If a man has two wives, the one loved and the other unloved, and both the loved and unloved wives have borne him children, and if the firstborn son is the child of the unloved wife;

18
"If a man has a stubborn, rebellious son who will not obey what his father or mother says, and even after they discipline him he still refuses to pay attention to them;

22
"If someone has committed a capital crime and is put to death, then hung on a tree,

22:1
You are not to watch your brother's ox or sheep straying and behave as if you hadn't seen it; you must bring them back to your brother.


2
If your brother is not close by, or you don't know who the owner is, you are to bring it home to your house; and it will remain with you until your brother asks for it; then you are to give it back to him.

4
"If you see your brother's donkey or ox collapsed on the road, you may not behave as if you hadn't seen it; you must help him get them up on their feet again.

5
"A woman is not to wear men's clothing, and a man is not to put on women's clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to ADONAI your God.

6
"If, as you are walking along, you happen to see a bird's nest in a tree or on the ground with chicks or eggs, and the mother bird is sitting on the chicks or the eggs, you are not to take the mother with the chicks.


8
"When you build a new house, you must build a low wall around your roof; otherwise someone may fall from it, and you will be responsible for his death.

9
"You are not to sow two kinds of seed between your rows of vines; if you do, both the two harvested crops and the yield from the vines must be forfeited.

10
"You are to make for yourself twisted cords on the four corners of the garment you wrap around yourself.

13
"If a man marries a woman, has sexual relations with her and then, having come to dislike her,

22
"If a man is found sleeping with a woman who has a husband, both of them must die -the man who went to bed with the woman and the woman too. In this way you will expel such wickedness from Isra'el.

23
"If a girl who is a virgin is engaged to a man, and another man comes upon her in the town and has sexual relations with her;

25
"But if the man comes upon the engaged girl out in the countryside, and the man grabs her and has sexual relations with her, then only the man who had intercourse with her is to die.

28
"If a man comes upon a girl who is a virgin but who is not engaged, and he grabs her and has sexual relations with her, and they are caught in the act,

30
"A man is not to take his father's wife, thus violating his father's rights.

23:1
"A man with crushed or damaged private parts may not enter the assembly of ADONAI.

2
"A mamzer may not enter the assembly of ADONAI, nor may his descendants down to the tenth generation enter the assembly of ADONAI.

3
"No 'Amoni or Mo'avi may enter the assembly of ADONAI, nor may any of his descendants down to the tenth generation ever enter the assembly of ADONAI,

7
"But you are not to detest an Edomi, because he is your brother; and you are not to detest an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.

9
"When you are in camp, at war with your enemies, you are to guard yourself against anything bad.

10
If there is a man among you who is unclean because of a nocturnal emission, he is to go outside the camp; he is not to enter the camp.

11
Also you are to have an area outside the camp to use as a latrine.

15
"If a slave has escaped from his master and taken refuge with you, you are not to hand him back to his master.

17
"No woman of Isra'el is to engage in ritual prostitution, and no man of Isra'el is to engage in ritual homosexual prostitution.

19
"You are not to lend at interest to your brother, no matter whether the loan is of money, food or anything else that can earn interest.

21
"When you make a vow to ADONAI your God, you are not to delay in fulfilling it, for ADONAI your God will certainly demand it of you, and your failure to do so will be your sin.

25
When you enter your neighbor's field of growing grain, you may pluck ears with your hand; but you are not to put a sickle to your neighbor's grain.

24:1
"Suppose a man marries a woman and consummates the marriage but later finds her displeasing, because he has found her offensive in some respect. He writes her a divorce document, gives it to her and sends her away from his house.

5
"If a man has recently married his wife, he is not to be subject to military service; he is to be free of external obligations and left at home for one year to make his new wife happy.

6
"No one may take a mill or even an upper millstone as collateral for a loan, because that would be taking as collateral the debtor's very means of sustenance.

7
"No one may take a mill or even an upper millstone as collateral for a loan, because that would be taking as collateral the debtor's very means of sustenance.

"When there is an outbreak of tzara'at, be careful to observe and do just what the cohanim, who are L'vi'im, teach you. Take care to do as I ordered them.

10
"When you make any kind of loan to your neighbor, you are not to enter his house to take his collateral.

14
"You are not to exploit a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether one of your brothers or a foreigner living in your land in your town.

16
"Fathers are not to be executed for the children, nor are children to be executed for the fathers; every person will be executed for his own sin.

17
"You are not to deprive the foreigner or the orphan of the justice which is his due, and you are not to take a widow's clothing as collateral for a loan.

19
"When harvesting the grain in your field, if you forgot a sheaf of grain there, you are not to go back and get it; it will remain there for the foreigner, the orphan and the widow, so that ADONAI your God will bless you in all the work you do.
25:1
"If people have a dispute, seek its resolution in court, and the judges render a decision in favor of the righteous one and condemning the wicked one;
4
"You are not to muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain.
5
"If brothers live together, and one of them dies childless, his widow is not to marry someone unrelated to him; her husband's brother is to go to her and perform the duty of a brother-in-law by marrying her.

11
"If men are fighting with each other, and the wife of one comes up to help her husband get away from the man attacking him by grabbing the attacker's private parts with her hand,

Torah Portion
Balak, Numbers : 22:2-25:9

Balak 22:2
When Balak son of Tzippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites,

Vayar Balak ben-Tsipor et kol-asher-asah Yisra'el la-Emori.

22:3 the Moabites became deathly afraid because the [Israelite] people were so numerous. Dreading the Israelites,

Vayagor Moav mipeney ha'am me'od ki rav-hu vayakots Moav mipeney beney Yisra'el.
Balak
See Joshua 24:9, Judges 11:25, Micah 6:5. Balak was a descendant of Lot (BeMidbar Rabbah 20:19). According to tradition, he was the ancestor of Ruth

Haftarah Portion
Micah 5:6 - 6:8

5:6 Then the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples; like dew from God, like showers upon the grass, which are not looked for from man, nor awaited by the sons of men.

Vehayah sherit Ya'akov bekerev amim rabim ketal me'et Adonay kirvivim aley-esev asher lo-yekaveh le'ish velo yeyachel livney adam.

5:7 And the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, which if he passes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no deliverer.

Vehayah sherit Ya'akov bagoyim bekerev amim rabim ke'aryeh bevahamot ya'ar kichfir be'edrey-tson asher im-avar veramas vetaraf ve'eyn matsil.
I do not know of what spiritual blessings I would receive from such verse?

I think these are two profound and beautiful verses to pounder:

Micah 6:7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Amein!

Just a note for those reading their parshas, of course the whole parsha won't speak directly to you, but there should be some part of it that should ring a bell or you should feel a stirring when you read it. Remember this would be your parsha if you were bar/bat mitzvahed, and you would have to do a drash on this, and speak on what it means to you, ( in some synogogues).

I know when I read mine, there were a few verses that really tugged at my heart and I felt that they were written for me, so I was hoping it would be that way for everyone.

BTW - these readings are not necessarily for your birth date, but for your 13th birthday. Under certain circumstances these may not be exactly the same :) FYI

Yes they are,they are only different in the Roman/Greco calendar, they are based on what Hebrew date you were born, but they don't ask you for that hebrew date, they calculate it for you, so the date given for your Bar/Bat mitzvah is when it would be by that Hebrew calendar date, not the R/G one.

Example: If you were born on May 7 ,1970 and you put that in the calculator on that site, you would get a Bar/Bat Mitzvah date of April 14, 1983 but it would still be your hebrew birthday of Iyar 1 .

So the parshas are correct as they always follow your Hebrew birthday. :)

not to put too fine a point on the thing.... but if your bar mitzvah fell on a year that was or was not a leap year, the parasha for your bar mitzvah may or may not be a double and your actual birth date parasha may or may not be a single ;)
