Study Notes by Avraham ben Yaakov

NEHEMIAH CHAPTER 8

Now that the returnees from Babylon to Judea had settled again in their ancestral towns and villages, they were ready to return to the Torah path of life that is the purpose of Israel's existence.

With the arrival of the first day of the seventh month – Rosh HaShanah, the Head and beginning of the spiritual year – everyone, including both the men and the women, flocked to the Temple.

The account of this unique national assembly – central to which was the public reading from the Torah scroll – is one of our main sources for the laws and customs of: (1) the public Torah reading in the synagogue (2) Rosh Hashanah (3) the Succah.

THE READING OF THE LAW

The central figure in this section is Ezra the Scribe and High Priest. While Moses had instituted the public reading of the Torah on Shabbos, Mondays and Thursdays (so that three days should never go by without the people hearing the Torah), it was Ezra who instituted other customs relating to the Torah reading that are observed until today. Among them are the reading of the Torah during the Shabbos afternoon Minchah service; the calling of THREE people for ALIYAH ("going up" to the reader's desk to bless and read from the Torah) at the Shabbos afternoon and weekday readings, and the reading of no less than ten verses from the Torah on those days (Rambam, Hilchos Tefilah 12:1). Ezra either instituted or renewed the custom of reading the Torah week by week from the beginning Genesis to the end of Deuteronomy in an annual cycle that starts and ends on Shemini Atzeres (one-day festival following Succos), reaching the reproof at the end of Leviticus just before Shavuos and the reproof towards the end of Deuteronomy just before Rosh Hashanah (Rambam, ibid. 13:2).
