Parasha : a Hebrew word meaning "section"
Jews read a section of the five books of Moses every shabath of the year.
This is a practice that dates back thousands of years. Tradition is that
Jews study the section of the week during that week. Every week , all over
the world , people go to classes on the parasha of the week.
The whole 5 books of Moses is divided into 54 sections.
613.org organized its classes by these 54 sections.
