Shabbat Times for Nitzavim-Vayelech Parsha Announced

The weekly Torah portion for this coming Shabbat is Nitzavim-Vayelech. Parshat Nitzavim, the eighth weekly portion in the Book of Deuteronomy, begins in chapter 29, verse 9 and concludes in chapter 30, verse 20. This portion is traditionally read on the Shabbat immediately preceding Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

Parshat Nitzavim initiates the sequence of the final four portions of the Torah: Nitzavim, Vayelech, Ha'azinu, and Zot Brachah. These are also the shortest portions in the Torah. In years when there is no Shabbat between Yom Kippur and Sukkot, Parshat Vayelech is read together with Parshat Nitzavim.
