Zayit said: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.

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).

hmmmmmm I dont get how these two go together
I never heard that before.vanilla8 said: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?
BalakTorah 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.
I do not know of what spiritual blessings I would receive from such verse?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.
Amein!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?
Henaynei said: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
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 singleZayit said: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.
