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 22
And Yeshua answered again in parables, and said:
2 “The kingdom of heaven is like to a king who made a feast for his son.
3 And he sent his servants so as to call those that had been invited to a wedding feast, but they had no desire to come.
4 And again he sent other servants, and said: ‘Say to those who are invited: ‘Behold! My supper is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and every thing is prepared; come to the wedding feast.’
5 But they showed disrespect, and went away, one to his field, and another to his business; 6 and the rest grabbed hold of his servants, and mocked them, and murdered them.
7 And when the king heard this, he was angry, and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and he burned their city.
8 “Then said he to his servants: ‘The wedding feast is prepared, but those that were invited are not worthy.
9 Go therefore to the main streets and anyone that you may find, call to the wedding feast.’

Ch 88-89
Mar-Yah God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee; 2 Let my prayer come before thee; incline thine ear unto my supplication; 3 For my soul is full of troubles and my life draws near to Sheol. 4 I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am like a man who has no strength; 5 Like a nobleman abandoned among the dead, like the slain that lie down in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more; they are lost to thee. 6 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the shadow of death. 7 Thy wrath rests hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. 8 Thou hast put away mine acquaintances far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them; I am shut up and I cannot come forth. 9 Mine eyes are weakened from weeping; Mar-Yah, I have called daily upon thee; I have stretched out my hands to thee

Odes 21
1 The dove fluttered over the head of Maran Mashikha, because He was her head.
2 And she sang over Him, and her voice was heard.
3 Then the inhabitants were afraid, and the foreigners were disturbed.
4 The bird began to fly, and every creeping thing died in its hole.
5 And the chasms were opened and closed; and they were seeking Mar- Yah as those who are about to give birth.
6 But He was not given to them for nourishment, because He did not belong to them.

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.
