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 25
Then let the Kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, those who took their lamps and
went out for the gathering of the bridegroom and bride.
2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 And the foolish took their lamps, but did not take with them any oil.
4 But those who were wise took oil in vessels, with their lamps.
5 Now when the bridegroom delayed, they all became weary and fell asleep.
6 And at midnight there was an outcry: ‘Behold! The bridegroom comes! Go out for his gathering!’
7 Then all those virgins arose, and prepared their lamps.
8 And those among the foolish were saying to the wise: ‘Give us some of your oil; for, look, our lamps have gone out.’
9 And those among the wise answered and said: ‘No. There is not enough for us and for you; go to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went with him into the banquet hall, and the door was locked.
11 Now later on those other virgins came, and said: ‘Mari, mari, open the door for us.’
12 And then he answered, and said to them: ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’
13 Be observant, therefore, for you do not know the day or the hour.

Ch 104-105
Bless Mar-Yah, O my soul. O Mar-Yah my God, thou art very great: thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Thou coverest thyself with light as with a garment; who stretcheth out the heavens like a curtain, 3 Who layest the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds his chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind, 4 Who makest his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire, 5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hastened away. 8 The mountains ascend, the valleys descend to the place which thou hast founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over, to cover the earth.

Odes 24
As the wings of doves over their nestlings, and the mouths of their nestlings towards their mouths, so too are the wings of the Spirit over my heart.
2 I trusted, consequently I was at rest; because trustful is He in whom I trusted.

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.
