This is Weekly Parsha Torah Rhymes, a new project that I'm launching inspired by the several years of Torah Rhymes that I've written to celebrate Simchat Torah at DC Minyan.

The goal of this project is to write a new Torah Rhyme each week based on that week's parsha (portion). Each parsha is divided into seven segments called aliyot. During this first year of my project, each weekly rhyme will be based on the content of the first of these seven segments. G*d willing, this project will continue for (at least) seven years, allowing me to write Torah Rhymes for the entire Torah!

I'm still getting things up and running, but in the meantime, you're welcome to subscribe so that you can start receiving weekly emails with brand new timely Torah Rhymes.

Thanks for joining me on this journey!

B'ahava (with love), Jael
