Parashat Bo - "Enter"
This week's Torah Reading is Parashat Bo which means "Enter." Typically the names of the weekly readings come from the first line of the passage, sometimes the first word.
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.
This week's Torah portion begins in Exodus 10:1 "Then the LORD said to Moses, "'Go to Pharaoh...'" Since "Go" is the main idea or action being expressed, the name of the portion, "Enter," reflects that.
Torah portion: Exodus 10:1-13:16
discussion of above passage
The next part of the weekly reading is the Haftarah which is a passage from Nevi'im which is the section of the Tanakh referred to as the Prophets, e.g. Isaiah, Kings 1. More about Haftarah and Haftarah blessings.
Haftarah portion: Jeremiah 46:13-28
Brit Chadashah: Luke 22:7-30; 1 Corinthians 11:20-34
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.
