Editing Weekly Torah portion (section)

==Practice: who, when, what==
The appropriate ''parashah'' is [[Hebrew cantillation|chanted]] publicly. In most communities, it is read by a designated reader ([[Baal keriah|''ba'al koreh'']]) in Jewish prayer services, starting with a partial reading on the afternoon of [[Shabbat]], the Jewish Sabbath, i.e. Saturday afternoon, again during the Monday and Thursday morning services, and ending with a full reading during the following Shabbat morning services (Saturday morning). The weekly reading is pre-empted by a special reading on major [[Jewish holiday|religious holidays]]. Each Saturday morning and holiday reading is followed by an often similarly themed reading (''[[Haftarah]]'') from the Book of Prophets (''[[Nevi'im]]'').
