Torah reading
Synagogue scroll chanting
Torah reading is the Jewish practice of publicly reciting portions from the Torah scroll during synagogue services.
The full Torah is divided into weekly portions read over the course of a year, with specific passages assigned to Sabbaths, holidays, and other occasions.
The practice centers on chanting from handwritten Hebrew scrolls: He prepared for weeks before his bar mitzvah Torah reading.
