1/ Chevre, this week there is no parsha and no parsha next week either. Tonight starts Sukkot, where we go out and build a temporary hut and “live” in it for the next week.

1/ Chevre, this week’s parsha is Hazinu (האזינו). This is the last parsha that we’ll read on Shabbat. The next 2 Shabbatot will be Sukkot and Simchat Torah, where we will read special Torah readings and then complete (and restart) the reading the Torah.
