Before Torah Reading
Matthew 5:17-20
Do not think that I came to dismiss the Torah or the Prophets. I have not come to dismiss, but to carry out. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one smallest letter or one stroke shall pass away from the Torah, until everything happens. Therefore, anyone who dismisses one of these small mitzvoth (Commandments), and thus teach the sons of men to do so, will be called little in the Kingdom of Heaven; but those who do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
When Removing Torah From Ark
When the Ark set out, Mosha would say: Arise, O AdonYah, and Your adversaries will be scattered, and Your enemies will flee before You. For from Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the Word of AdonYah from Jerusalem. Blessed is He who in His holiness gave Torah to His people Israel.
The Torah which Moshe commanded us is the heritage of congregation of Ya’aqub. (Kiss the Torah)
The Book of Matthew
Ch 11
When Yeshua had concluded giving instructions to his twelve talmidim, he departed from
there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Now when Yokhanan, in the house of prisoners, heard of the works of Mshikha, he sent a message by way of his talmidim,
3 and said to him: “Are you he that comes, or are we to expect another?”
4 Yeshua answered, saying to them: “Go, tell Yokhanan the things that you hear and see:
5 the blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise up, and the needy hear good tidings;
6 and happy is he who shall not be stumbled at me.”
7 And after they left, Yeshua began to say to the crowds concerning Yokhanan: “What did you go out to the wilderness to see, a reed that was shaken by the wind?
8 And if not what did you go out to see? A man who was wearing soft robes? Behold, they that are clothed in soft robes are among kings.
9 And if not what did you go out to see? A nabi? Yes, I say to you, and more than a nabi.
10 For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send my messenger ahead of you, that he may prepare the way before you.’
11 “Truly I say to you, among those born of women, there has not arisen one who is greater than Yokhanan the Baptiser, yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Epistle of James
Ch 5
Ch 55-59
Give ear to my prayer, O God; and reject not my supplication. 2 Hear me and answer me; return to my cry and incline to me, 3 Because of mine enemies, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they have devised iniquity against me, and reproached me. 4 My heart is greatly pained within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and the shadow of death has overwhelmed me. 6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away and be at rest. 7 Lo, then I would fly far off and dwell in the wilderness. 8 I would wait for him that will save me from the windy storm and the tempest.

Odes 13
As the eyes of a son upon his father, so are my eyes, Maran, at all times towards You.
2 Because my pleasure is with You.
3 Turn not aside Your mercies from me, Maran; and take not Your kindness from me.
4 Stretch out to me, my Lord, at all times, Your right hand, and be to me a guide till the end according to Your will.
5 Let me be pleasing before You, because of Your glory, and because of Your name let me be saved from the Evil One.

After Torah Reading
Psalm 119:18
Happy are they who are upright in the way, who walk in the Torah of AdonYah. Happy are they who keep His testimonies, that seek Him with the whole heart. They do no unrighteousness; they walk in His way. You have ordained Your precepts, that we should observe them diligently. Oh that my ways were directed to observe Your statutes! Then I would not be ashamed, when I have given diligence unto all Your mitzvoth. I will give thanks unto You with uprightness of heart, when I learn Your righteous ordinances. I will observe Your statutes; do not utterly forsake me.
Lord Yeshua, you who were brought forth by the very hand of God the Father, made known to the Blessed Mother Maryam, by the message of the angel Gabriel — I praise you, I thank you and I honour you with all my heart. It was you who said, ‘I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall never thirst.’ Grant unto the presence of the Spirit of holiness as you promised to your disciples, so that I may understand the Word of God and the Will of the Father for me. Amen.
