Vezot Haberakhah is not read on an ordinary Shabbat: it closes the Torah on Simchat Torah, on 4 October 2026.

Reading the parasha

Every parasha has its page in the library, in Hebrew with transliteration. For shnayim mikra, each verse is followed by its Targum Onkelos, with Rashi as an option. The full Tanakh is there too.

To learn together, a shared reading session splits a text between participants and tracks the progress through to the siyum.

The Shabbat it is read on

Candle lighting and havdalah times for each parasha's Shabbat, in your city, are on the Shabbat times page; the festival dates are on the Jewish holiday calendar.

Frequently asked questions about the weekly parasha

What is this week's parasha?
On Shabbat 29 August 2026 we read Parashat Ki Tavo. The table above gives the parasha of every Shabbat of the year, each linked to its text in Hebrew and transliteration.
What is a parasha?
A parasha (parashat hashavua, the “portion of the week”) is the section of the Torah read in shul on Shabbat. The five books are divided into 54 sections, read one Shabbat after another: the cycle closes on Simchat Torah, when Deuteronomy is finished and Genesis begins again straight away.
Why are two parashiot sometimes read on the same Shabbat?
Because the Hebrew year holds about fifty Shabbatot, sometimes fewer, and festivals take up several of them. So that the cycle still closes on Simchat Torah, certain pairs (Vayakhel and Pekudei, Nitzavim and Vayelech, and others) are read together in short years.
Where can I read the weekly parasha online?
Every parasha has its page in the library, in Hebrew with transliteration, free and with no account. For shnayim mikra (each verse twice, then the Targum Onkelos), the shnayim mikra page runs through the week's parasha verse by verse.
What time does that Shabbat start?
Candle lighting and havdalah times for your city are on the Shabbat times page, week by week, with the name of the parasha alongside.
