Shabbat Times for Parashat Devarim Marking Shabbat Chazon 5786
Parashat Devarim is the first weekly Torah portion in the Book of Deuteronomy, spanning from chapter 1, verse 1 through chapter 3, verse 22. It is traditionally read on the Shabbat before Tisha B'Av, earning it the name "Shabbat Chazon" (Shabbat of Vision) due to the Haftarah portion. In some communities, a verse beginning with the word "Eicha" (How) is chanted with the cantillation melody of the Book of Lamentations.
