1907I. Zangwill Ghetto Comedies 128 We are reading the Sedrah (weekly portion) about Joseph. 1909Cent. Dict. Suppl., The Pentateuch is divided into fifty-four sedras or sections, which are subdivided into parashoth. The sedras must be read at the morning Sabbath services during the year, but as a year has only 52 weeks, in order to finish the sedras two of them are read on two special Sabbaths. 1962New Jewish Encycl. 370/2 In common usage, the word ‘Parashah’ also refers to the entire Sidrah (or Sedrah), or to any of the various sections or paragraphs in the scroll of the Torah. The Torah is subdivided into Sidrot (sections), the reading of which is completed in a one year cycle; and each Sidrah is further subdivided into Parashiyot (sing. Parashah). 1973Jewish Chron. 19 Jan. 18/2 Nehama Leibowitz's studies in the weekly sidra have justifiably become renowned as a key for the unlocking of the treasures found among the Jewish Biblical exegetes. |
