Parashat Ki Tisa - "when you take"

This week's Torah portion is Parashat Ki Tisa. Summary of this portion.

Blessing before Torah study: Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, Who has made us holy through His commandments, and commanded us to actively study Torah.

Torah portion: Exodus 30:11-34:35 - which begins:

11"The LORD said to Moses, 12 'When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a ransom for his life to the LORD when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them. 13 Each one who is numbered in the census shall give this: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as an offering to the LORD.'" (ESV)

Messianic reading of Ki Tisa.

Haftarah and Haftarah blessings
Haftarah: 1Kings 18:1-39

Brit Chadashah: 2Cor 3:1-18

Blessing after Torah study: Blessed art thou, Lord our G-d, King of the universe, who
gave us the Torah of truth and set everlasting life in our midst.
Blessed art thou, O Lord, Giver of the Torah.

Why bother?
