Please note: Fortnightly Shabbat morning Children's Hebrew Classes at 10am. Contact Laura Miller.

Hebrew text on-screen: Links are provided below to web-pages which display the Torah portion in both English and Hebrew. MS Internet Explorer_6 and Opera_8 are both capable of rendering fully pointed right-to-left Hebrew. Some other web browsers are not able to display Hebrew vowel points in their correct vertical and horizontal alignments and you may also notice incorrect letter spacing.
 
Torah portions/Parshiot: Each named portion is cited below in full, e.g. Genesis 1:1-6:8. However, only a part is likely to be read on each Shabbat. The name of the portion, e.g. Bereishis, is usually a word within the opening lines of the Hebrew text.
