Hebrew Chanting: How Do I Order My Portion?
This page describes Magic Yad products for Shabbat portions for Torah and Haftarah. For High Holy Days, click here.
When you order your portion from us, we will create a customized booklet for you. It will include your particular Torah and/or Haftarah portion(s). All booklets also include Torah and Haftarah trope exercises, the b’rachot (blessings) for an aliyah to the Torah, and the b’rachot before and after the Haftarah.
A “Standard Portion” is approximately one-third the verses of the full traditional parsha (as defined in the groupings of verses under “Find Your Verses”). A Standard Portion is chanted by Magic Yad’s cantor, Gastón Bogomolni.
You may order:
(1) a Standard Portion (as defined in the groupings of verses under “Find Your Verses”);
(2) a subset of a Standard Portion;
(3) a customized set of verses; or
(4) a Magic Yad customized with your teacher’s voice with verses that you require.
