Halocho #856 - Don't interrupt the voyage

This week we read the Parsha of Mas'ay. Parshat מסעי begins by listing the 42 encampments the wandering Jews had during their 40 years in the desert.

All 42 encampments should be read together during the same "Aliya".

Source: Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 78:4

After the last Aliya the congregation says "חֲזַק חֲזַק וְנִתְחַזַּק" in honour of finishing the 4th Chumash - Bemidbar.

The Haftara this week is שמעו - the 2nd chapter of Yirmiyahu.

This week is Shabbat Mevarchim Chodesh Menachem-Av, with Rosh Chodesh Av being on Monday.

Shabbat Shalom
