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)
Ch 21-22
And when he approached Yerushalayim, and came to Beit-Pageh, on the side of Har-Zeitim,
Yeshua sent two of his talmidim;
2 and said to them: “Go into this village that is before you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 And if anyone says anything to you, tell him: ‘they are needed for our Master;’ and he will send them here immediately.”
4 And all this happened so that it might be fulfilled that which was spoken through the nabi, saying:
5 “Say to the daughter of Tzion: ‘Behold! Your king comes to you, meek, and sitting on a
donkey, and on a colt the foal of a donkey.”

Regularly Assembling Together
It is written in the Scriptures that when you appear before Alhym for instruction in Torah you must assemble the men and the women and the children and the foreigner [[See Deuteronomy 31:9-13]]. These are each given their seats and places within the congregation.

Ch 60-65
O God, thou hast forsaken us, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased with us; O turn thyself to us again. 2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it; heal the breaches thereof, for it hath weakened. 3 Thou hast shown thy people hardships; thou hast made us to drink the dregs of wine. 4 Thou hast wrought a miracle to them that reverence thee, so that they need not flee from the bow. 5 That thy beloved may be prepared, save with thy right hand, and hear me.

Ch 18-19
1 I lifted up my arms on high on account of the compassion of Mar- Yah.
2 Because He cast off my bonds from me, and my Helper lifted me up according to His compassion and His salvation.
3 And I put off darkness, and put on light.
4 And even I myself acquired members. In them there was no sickness or affliction or suffering.

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.
