Lech Lecha
Read on Shabbat, Saturday, October 24, 2026
A double portion this week. Both are read together.
A festival Shabbat
This Shabbat falls during an appointed time, so a special festival reading takes the place of the weekly portion. The weekly cycle picks up again next week.
V'Zot HaBerachah: the Torah cycle closes this week
The final portion, V'Zot HaBerachah (Deuteronomy 33:1–34:12), is read on Simchat Torah this week, and then the reading cycle starts again at Bereshit. Mikha'el's teaching on it is coming soon.
