That chart is really confusing. Makes me hope we end up with the one year cycle.

LOL if you let your eyes focus it really is not so bad. It is just not set up in a table all nice and columnizied - LOL

Each weekly reading is listed by it's Name
Which in this case also happens to be the name of the book as it is the first reading in the book of Bereshit/Genesis.

Next it tells you the complete reading for the year in tyhe cycle - say year #2

Then it lists the breakdown of the 8 aliyot
Bereshit

year 1 1:1 – 2:3 year 2 2:4 – 4:26 year 3 5:1 – 6:8

1 1:1 – 1:5 2:4 – 2:9 5:1 – 5:5

2 1:6 – 1:8 2:10 – 2:19 5:6 – 5:8

3 1:9 – 1:13 2:20 – 2:25 5:9 – 5:14

4 1:14 – 1:19 3:1 – 3:21 5:15 – 5:20

5 1:20 – 1:23 3:22 – 3:24 5:21 – 5:24

6 1:24 – 1:31 4:1 – 4:18 5:25 – 5:31

7 2:1 – 2:3 4:19 – 4:26 5:32 – 6:8

Maftir 2:1 – 2:3 4:23 – 4:26 6:5 – 6:8

So, instead of reading the entire thing in order, you'd only read that little section of Bereshit before moving on to the year 2 section of Noach. Or am I just totally confused?

That list seems to have the cycle ending in March. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the triennial schedule also end on Simchat Torah, just every third year?
OKay CF ate my post LOL

ANYWAY I was saying...
DON'T ask ME! LOL I dunno nuthin from nuthin! TL mentions he thinks it begins anew with Passover since Passover is the first feast of the year. But whatever... we sure don't have to use this cycle even if you all decide to go with a 3-year set-up. We're easy to please, kwim?

Yes, you read the year one section of each weekly reading all year long, then the second year you read the year two section for ear week, and in year three you read the year three section for each week, finishing the Torah cycle on Simchat Torah of the third year.

This allows for more detailed study of each section each week.

Not that I'm complaining, but it strikes me as odd to read a portion, skip a portion, etc.
theo only other way per tradition is the one year cycle - in this format I think that is just way too much to try to fully discuss and study each week - but lets see what others think!!

Get out the vote!!!

My thoughts...



and please keep this in mind community:



Considering that we all follow the 1 year Torah cycle at our synagogues/congregations/homes/etc... doesn't it make more sense that we could discuss what we've studied or heard read on Shabbat?



To me, it is going to be rather difficult, not to mention time consuming, for us to have one parsha for home/synagogue and a different one for here on the forums.



With this in mind, wouldn't you rather go to the one year cycle?



shalom,

Yafet.

My dear Yafet and community,

Bear
this in mind.

It is NOT a "different" p'rasha,
but a SMALLER
portion of the IDENTICAL
p'rasha.

For study purposes this is really easier
and NOT more "difficult!"

Sorry for the double post - for the last 2 days I have repeatedly gotten bumped off the server.

Could someone delete this post and the first of the duplicate?
