Parsha Discussion...1 or 3 year cycle?

[iitb]

I would prefer the one year; that way we allow everyone to prepare for the coming shabbat.

We can include the Haftarah if you'd like. I'm flexible on all of this.

I think it is quite ok if we do - but also that it is quite a full plate.

suggestion:
this year do the Torah portions
next year do the HafTorah portions, referring to the previous Torah discussions

 

[iitb]

We could start with the 1 year schedule, and if it gets too overwhelming, switch to the 3 year.

 

[simchat_torah]

I would like to do the 1 year parashot as well.

 

[Shiphrah]

Me too.

 

[sojeru]

awww i was hoping for the 3 year but oh well
Majority rules even with our people

 

[ShirChadash]

It is not necessary that we have to follow one or the other, so I ask:

Do you think we should use the one year reading cycle - and coincide with most MJ congregations that do Torah readings

or

should we use the three year reading cycle - and take it in smaller "bites" and chew more thoroughly?

Oh pleeeez pleeeez consider taking the three year cycle, won't you folks? So many places online all do the 1 year cycle, and my family is following the 3-year, so TL and I would greatly appreciate having a place to discuss the readings on the 3-yr set-up (which we haven't found a place to do yet anywhere else online). granted, I'll be happy with whatever you all decide, and I haven't managed to read this whole thread yet, so I realize you may have decided already lol... but I wanted to speak up quick!

Since Justin is currently writing up the rules for the thread... I'll post a quick poll. Let's say that we should have the poll end by midnight tonight.

 

[simchat_torah]

its a poll people.... vote.

 

[simchat_torah]

once the thread is up, I say we can delete this one and the poll just to clean house.

 

[Henaynei]

LOL

yer title says 1 or 3 year

yer POLL says 1 or 2 year!!!

oooops!

 

[iitb]

I'm going to merge this to the Parsha discussion thread. That'll keep everything in 1 place.

 

[simchat_torah]

hahaha... I'll try to change that. oopos. lol

 

[simchat_torah]

ok, I can't change the options... haha, so it is understood that the 2 year option really means 3 year cycle...

and we all agree that I need to go back to elementary school.

 

[ShirChadash]

roflol!

 

[iitb]

Threads merged and poll fixed.

 

[Henaynei]

Justin - de' man wid de' golden keyboard!!

Suave Faire, Dash and Debonair!!

 

[simchat_torah]

looks like Justin has the magic touch... poll is fixed.

 

[iitb]

Let's say that we should have the poll end by midnight tonight.

Defining "midnight:"
Since we're all spread out over different time zones, and I'm the one who's planning to post the final thread, let's go with midnight my time(mountain time zone, GMT -7).

I'll post the final discussion thread at that point.

 

[Henaynei]

uh.... dat's 2am here!
gotcha!
