All Aliyot

Behar

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Behar - First Aliyah

The first aliyah of Parashat Behar opens with the commandment of Shemitah and Jubilee, given directly from Mount Sinai. For six years you work the land, in the seventh everything stops. After seven Shemitah cycles comes the fiftieth year, the Jubilee, when every person returns to their ancestral land and family.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Behar - Second Aliyah

The second aliyah of Parashat Behar addresses the details of land commerce. Selling land is not permanent, but only until the Jubilee year. The price is set according to the number of remaining years, and the Torah warns: do not wrong one another.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Behar - Third Aliyah

The third aliyah of Parashat Behar addresses the divine promise for those who keep the Shemitah: a blessing in the sixth year sufficient for three years. Alongside the promise, a foundational principle: the land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parashat Behar - Fourth Aliyah

The fourth aliyah of Parashat Behar addresses economic downfall and the paths to redemption. A person forced to sell their ancestral land can be redeemed by a close relative, by themselves, or wait for the Jubilee which restores everything to its place.

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parashat Behar - Fifth Aliyah

The fifth aliyah of Parashat Behar deals with the laws of houses in walled cities, Levite cities, and the prohibition of interest. The Torah distinguishes between a house in a walled city and a house in a village, and demands support for a fallen brother without economic exploitation.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parashat Behar - Sixth Aliyah

The sixth aliyah of Parashat Behar deals with the laws of the Hebrew servant. A Jew who is sold does not become a slave but a temporary worker until the Jubilee, and it is forbidden to subjugate them with hard labor. The Torah explains: for they are My servants, not servants of flesh and blood.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parashat Behar - Seventh Aliyah

The seventh aliyah of Parashat Behar deals with the redemption of a Jew sold to a non-Jewish resident. Even in the most extreme situation, redemption is possible: a brother, uncle, cousin, or the person themselves. And if not redeemed, the Jubilee sets them free. The parsha closes with the prohibition of idolatry and the observance of Shabbat.

Bechukotai

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Bechukotai - First Aliyah

The first aliyah of Parashat Bechukotai opens with the condition of blessing: if you walk in My statutes. The Torah promises rain in its season, full harvest, abundance and security. Three words that define the relationship between action and outcome.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Bechukotai - Second Aliyah

The second aliyah of Parashat Bechukotai continues the blessings: peace in the land, victory over enemies, fertility, and the pinnacle of blessing - I will turn to you. Five pursue a hundred, and a hundred pursue ten thousand. The power is not in numbers.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Bechukotai - Third Aliyah

The third aliyah of Parashat Bechukotai contains the pinnacle of blessing, the entire Tochachah (rebuke), and the consolation. From 'I will place My dwelling among you' to 'even then I did not reject them.' The longest and most difficult chapter in the Torah, sealed with a promise that the covenant will never be broken.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parashat Bechukotai - Fourth Aliyah

The fourth aliyah of Parashat Bechukotai opens the chapter of Arakhin (valuations): a person who vows their value to God. The Torah sets fixed amounts by age and gender, and accommodates those who cannot afford to pay. Animals and houses can also be consecrated, with the option of redemption by adding a fifth.

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parashat Bechukotai - Fifth Aliyah

The fifth aliyah of Parashat Bechukotai deals with the consecration of an ancestral field. The value is determined by the amount of seed and the years remaining until the Jubilee. One who does not redeem the field or sells it to another loses it permanently, as it becomes holy like a devoted field.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parashat Bechukotai - Sixth Aliyah

The sixth aliyah of Parashat Bechukotai deals with a purchased field, the holy shekel, the firstborn animal, and the law of cherem. The distinction between an ancestral field and a purchased field, and between consecration that can be redeemed and consecration from which there is no return.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parashat Bechukotai - Seventh Aliyah

The seventh and final aliyah of Parashat Bechukotai and the Book of Vayikra deals with cherem of a person, the tithe of the land, and the tithe of animals. The parasha concludes with the verse: These are the commandments that God commanded Moses to the children of Israel at Mount Sinai.

Emor

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Emor - First Aliyah

Parashat Emor opens with the laws of the priests. The Torah maps the boundaries of those who serve in the sanctuary: corpse impurity, personal appearance, marriage, and the elevated status of the High Priest. Holiness here is not a feeling but a practical discipline of choice and separation.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Emor - Second Aliyah

The second aliyah of Emor deals with the priest with a blemish, with priestly impurity, and with the boundaries of who may eat from the sacred. The Torah builds a precise legal architecture of who, when, and on what conditions one may approach holiness.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Emor - Third Aliyah

The third aliyah of Emor moves the focus from the offerer to the offering itself. The Torah requires an unblemished sacrifice, distinguishes between vow and free-will offering, and demands basic compassion even in sacred service. The closing verse: I shall be sanctified within the children of Israel.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parashat Emor - Fourth Aliyah

The fourth aliyah of Emor opens the chapter of festivals. Shabbat, Pesach, the Omer, the counting of seven weeks, and Shavuot. At the end, suddenly, the laws of leket and pe'ah. The Torah shows that there is no holy time without a social component inside it.

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parashat Emor - Fifth Aliyah

The fifth aliyah of Emor opens the month of Tishrei. Rosh Hashanah as a day of memorial blast, Yom Kippur as a day of affliction and atonement, and ten days bridging them. The Torah does not explain much. It marks time.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parashat Emor - Sixth Aliyah

The sixth aliyah closes the calendar of festivals with the festival of Sukkot. Seven days of dwelling in the sukkah, the four species, the eighth day of atseret, and the memory of leaving Egypt. The festival that ends the year of festivals also returns the people to the memory of being in the wilderness.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parashat Emor - Seventh Aliyah

The seventh aliyah of Emor opens with the oil of the menorah and the showbread, and turns midway to the story of the blasphemer and to foundational laws of justice. Eternal lamp, the holy table, profanation of the Name, laws of injury, and one law for the stranger and the citizen. The closing of an entire parsha.

Acharei Mot

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Acharei Mot - First Aliyah

The parsha opens with the great drama: 'After the death of the two sons of Aharon,' Nadav and Avihu, who died in their drawing near to the Holy. From this very place the Torah teaches how one is to approach the Holy, the foundation of the Yom Kippur service.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Acharei Mot - Second Aliyah

In this aliyah we reach the climax of Yom Kippur, the moments of complete atonement of Aharon, the High Priest, in his service before Hashem.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Acharei Mot - Third Aliyah

In this aliyah we complete the order of the Yom Kippur service, the outer, public, and profound part of the atonement of the entire nation.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parashat Acharei Mot - Fourth Aliyah

In this aliyah a strong demand emerges to centralize the sacrificial service in the Mishkan alone. No more field sacrifices, no more wild service, but holy service in an orderly path.

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parashat Acharei Mot - Fifth Aliyah

In this aliyah the Torah touches on one of the most central prohibitions in Judaism, the prohibition of consuming blood, and continues into broader moral foundations of identity and conduct.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parashat Acharei Mot - Sixth Aliyah

In this aliyah we stand before one of the most powerful and penetrating passages in the Torah, a passage that sets clear and incisive boundaries regarding the holiness of the family, modesty, and sexual morality in the people of Israel.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parashat Acharei Mot - Seventh Aliyah

This aliyah is one of the most severe and shaking in the entire Torah. The verses leave no room for soft interpretation: there are deeds, abominations, that are not only halachic prohibitions, but an existential threat to the people and to the Land itself.

Kedoshim

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Kedoshim - First Aliyah

Parashat Kedoshim opens with the great call: 'Kedoshim tihyu ki kadosh Ani Adonai eloheikhem' (You shall be holy, for I, Hashem your God, am holy). Immediately afterward comes a sequence of social mitzvot from which everyday holiness is built.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Kedoshim - Second Aliyah

The second aliyah continues the sequence of mitzvot between a person and his fellow: just judgment, the prohibition of lashon hara, the prohibition of hatred and revenge, and loving your neighbor. Alongside them: the laws of kilayim and the case of the betrothed maidservant.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Kedoshim - Third Aliyah

After detailed instruction on the laws of sacrifices, purity, and holiness, the Torah takes us to a wide field of everyday life: the laws of orlah, the prohibitions of divination and sorcery, bodily injuries, and respect for the elderly.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parashat Kedoshim - Fourth Aliyah

In this aliyah the Torah continues to walk on the paths of justice and humanity, and establishes one of the great pillars of Jewish morality: the treatment of the stranger and the different one, and justice in weight and measure.

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parashat Kedoshim - Fifth Aliyah

The fifth aliyah of Parashat Kedoshim opens with a topic that is at once shocking and profound: child sacrifice to Molekh, and turning to ovot and yid'onim (mediums and necromancers). Two forms of 'spiritual harlotry' that the Torah forbids with a severe prohibition.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parashat Kedoshim - Sixth Aliyah

In this aliyah we encounter a difficult, sharp, and precise list of severe transgressions concerning the holiness of the family, the marital bond, the honor of parents, and basic moral definitions that constitute the foundations of the existence of the people of Israel as a holy people.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parashat Kedoshim - Seventh Aliyah

In this aliyah the Torah concludes Parashat Kedoshim with a decisive call for a distinct and separated Jewish identity. No more blind imitation of other cultures, but a clear message: 'Velo telkhu bechukot hagoy' (You shall not walk in the customs of the nations).

Tazria

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Tazria - First Aliyah

The aliyah opens with the laws of the woman after childbirth: purity and impurity, circumcision on the eighth day, and an offering adapted to those who cannot afford a lamb. From there, the Torah turns to the opening laws of tzara'at.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Tazria - Second Aliyah

The aliyah continues the laws of the plague on the skin of the body, and sharpens how the priest decides between pure and impure.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Tazria - Third Aliyah

The aliyah addresses a plague that appears on skin that had already healed from a boil, and distinguishes between active tzara'at and a scar that remained.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parshat Tazria - Fourth Aliyah

In this aliyah the Torah continues the laws of skin afflictions, this time in a special case: an affliction resembling tzara'at that grows within the site of a burn, a burn of fire.

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parshat Tazria - Fifth Aliyah

In this aliyah the Torah continues the laws of skin afflictions, this time in special places of the body: the head and the beard, and an affliction called 'netek' that causes hair to fall.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parshat Tazria - Sixth Aliyah

In this aliyah the Torah continues to detail the laws of tzara'at, this time regarding the bald head, and a rare and loaded phenomenon: tzara'at on a garment.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parshat Tazria - Seventh Aliyah

In this aliyah we conclude chapter 13, which deals entirely with the laws of tzara'at, and move to the details of purification or impurity of tzara'at on a garment or a leather vessel.

Metzora

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Metzora - First Aliyah

Parashat Metzora opens with the purification ceremony of the metzora after he has healed from his affliction. A detailed, intricate process involving both symbolic rituals and sacrifices in the Temple.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Metzora - Second Aliyah

This aliyah continues the description of the metzora's purification process, moving from the external purification ritual to the sacrificial service and symbols within the Mishkan.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Metzora - Third Aliyah

In this aliyah, the Torah addresses the social and economic reality of those being purified, enabling a purification process even for those who cannot afford the full sacrifices, while preserving the spiritual principles.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parashat Metzora - Fourth Aliyah

In this aliyah appears one of the most unique and intriguing passages in the Torah: plagues on houses. A supernatural phenomenon in which tzara'at affects not only a person or garment, but the very walls of the house.

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parashat Metzora - Fifth Aliyah

In this aliyah we conclude the laws of purification from tzara'at and move on to the laws of the zav, a person who experiences an unnatural discharge and is in a special state of impurity.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parashat Metzora - Sixth Aliyah

This aliyah continues the laws of ritual impurity, focusing on three sensitive areas that require great care: seminal emission, niddah, and a woman's abnormal discharge (zivah).

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parashat Metzora - Seventh Aliyah

The seventh aliyah concludes the complex sequence of laws of Parashat Tazria and Metzora, bringing us to the height of the idea of purity of the body and of the camp.

Shemini

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Shemini - First Aliyah

On the eighth day of the inauguration, Moses calls Aaron, his sons, and the elders of Israel. Aaron approaches the altar and offers his own sacrifices first, and only then the people's offerings.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parshat Shemini - Second Aliyah

Aaron offers the meal-offering, peace-offerings, waves the breast and thigh, blesses the people - and the glory of God appears to all.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parshat Shemini - Third Aliyah

Fire from God consumes the offering — then Nadav and Avihu offer strange fire and die. Aaron is silent. Wine is forbidden before entering the Tent of Meeting.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parshat Shemini - Fourth Aliyah

After the great fire and the tragedy of Nadav and Avihu, Moses brings the system back on track: he turns to Aaron and to Elazar and Itamar - the surviving sons - and commands them to take the remaining meal offering...

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parshat Shemini - Fifth Aliyah

Moses inquired insistently about the sin offering goat and discovered it had been burned. He grew angry at Elazar and Itamar, Aaron's surviving sons, asking why they had not eaten the sin offering in the holy place...

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parshat Shemini - Sixth Aliyah

God commands Moses and Aaron to teach Israel the foundations of distinction between what may be eaten and what may not, and between pure and impure, through the signs of land animals, fish, birds, and creeping things.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parshat Shemini - Seventh Aliyah

The law descends to the details of impurity through contact with a carcass and a creeping creature, and connects distinction to the home, the kitchen, and the routine - sealing with a call to holiness.

Tzav

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Tzav - First Aliyah

The Holy One commands Moses to convey to Aaron and his sons the laws of the burnt offering: the olah remains on the altar fire all night until morning, and the priest ensures the altar fire burns continually.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Tzav – Second Aliyah

The priestly meal offering burned entirely, laws of sin and guilt offerings, contagious holiness and boundaries – clean service, true repair, and fair distribution in sacred work

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Tzav - Third Aliyah

The laws of the peace offering, the thanksgiving sacrifice, the prohibition of fat and blood, and the priestly portions. The Torah teaches that gratitude must not be postponed, that time limits create value, and that timing is part of morality.

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parashat Tzav – Fourth Aliyah

God commands Moses to take Aaron and his sons, the priestly garments, anointing oil, and offerings, and inaugurate them before the entire congregation. Moses dresses, anoints, and sanctifies.

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parashat Tzav – Fifth Aliyah

Moses offers the sin-offering bull and the burnt-offering ram in the priestly inauguration ceremony. Laying of hands, slaughter, sprinkling of blood, burning of fat, and burning the bull outside the camp.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parashat Tzav – Sixth Aliyah

The climax of the priestly inauguration: the ram of ordination, blood on ear-hand-foot, waving the portions on the palms of Aaron and his sons, burning on the altar, and the breast of waving for Moses.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parashat Tzav – Seventh Aliyah

The closing of the priestly inauguration: sprinkling oil and blood on Aaron and his sons, the ordination meal, seven days of guarding at the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons do all that was commanded.

Vayikra

Aliyah 1 of 7

Parashat Vayikra - First Aliyah

The curtain rises on a new book, and the very first verse holds a deep secret: 'And He called to Moshe.' Here the call comes from the intimacy of the Tent of Meeting.

Aliyah 2 of 7

Parashat Vayikra - Second Aliyah

Not everyone can bring a healthy bull to the Temple - so what does a poor person do? The Torah turns to the soul and teaches: when a poor person brings a simple meal-offering, God considers it as if they offered their very soul.

Aliyah 3 of 7

Parashat Vayikra - Third Aliyah

This aliyah continues the laws of the meal offering and introduces an additional type: the minchat marcheshet - fine flour mixed with oil, prepared in a deep cooking vessel...

Aliyah 4 of 7

Parashat Vayikra - Fourth Aliyah

Ve'im zevach shelamim korbano, im min-habakar hu makriv -im zachar im nekevah, tamim yakrivennu lifnei Adonai. Ve'samach yado al rosh korbano, u'shacha...

Aliyah 5 of 7

Parashat Vayikra - Fifth Aliyah

Sin offering for unintentional transgression - the anointed priest, the entire congregation, and the leader. Each brings a different offering, and all receive atonement and forgiveness.

Aliyah 6 of 7

Parashat Vayikra - Sixth Aliyah

The aliyah continues the laws of the sin offering, moving from the cases of the anointed priest, the congregation, and the leader to the most common case: an ordinary person from among the people who sinned unintentionally.

Aliyah 7 of 7

Parashat Vayikra - Seventh Aliyah

The aliyah opens with the final tier of the sliding-scale offering. If a person is so poor that even two turtledoves or two young pigeons are beyond reach, he brings a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering.
