On Simchat Torah, we conclude the annual reading of the Five Books of Moses and immediately start over with Bereishit (Genesis 1). Likewise on Simchat Torah we read Joshua 1 as the Haftarah - the supplementary reading from the prophets - thereby taking the first step in studying the Nakh (Nevi'im, The Prophets and Ketuvim, The Writings).*Although KNOW YOUR BIBLE can be studied at whatever pace you choose, you should know that by reading two chapters every day, you can complete the...
More DescriptionOn Simchat Torah, we conclude the annual reading of the Five Books of Moses and immediately start over with Bereishit (Genesis 1). Likewise on Simchat Torah we read Joshua 1 as the Haftarah - the supplementary reading from the prophets - thereby taking the first step in studying the Nakh (Nevi'im, The Prophets and Ketuvim, The Writings).*Although KNOW YOUR BIBLE can be studied at whatever pace you choose, you should know that by reading two chapters every day, you can complete the world's greatest Book of Wisdom in one year!The practice of studying two chapters of NaKh every day starting immediately after Simchat Torah is recommended in "Yesod VeShoresh Ha Avodah" ("Foundation and Root of Service") by Rabbi Alexander Zuskind of Horodenka (d. 1794), a guide to devotion endorsed by all streams of Torah Jewry (see Gate 6 Chapter 2, The Order of Study).Just as we commence our study of NaKh, so may we pursue it until we complete it with G-d's help. "Let no error befall us and let us not stumble in any matter of law. Let us not call that which is impure pure or that which is forbidden permitted. Let none of us stumble: For HaSem will give wisdom: from His mouth are wisdom and understanding. Open our eyes and let us behold wonders from Your Torah!""Try to go through all our holy books in the course of a lifetime so that you will have visited every place in the Torah. Wealthy people constantly travel from place to place, spending enormous sums in order to boast about where they have been. In the same way in this life you should visit all the holy places in the Torah. Then in the future life you will be able to take pride in having visited every place in our holy literature. For in the world to come you will remember everything you have ever learned."RABBI NACHMAN* Please note - KNOW YOUR BIBLE does not include the Book of Psalms.
