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 28

And in the evening of Shabbat as it was dusk, as the first day of the week began to dawn,
Miriam of Magdala and the other Miriam came so that they could see the sepulchre.
2 And behold! There was a great earthquake, for an angel of Mar-Yah descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the boulder from the entrance, and he was sitting upon it.
3 And his appearance was like the lightning, and his clothing was white like snow; 4 and from being afraid of him the guards were in shock, and became like the dead.
5 But the angel answered, and said to the women: “Do not have fear, for I know that you seek Yeshua who was crucified.
6 He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come see the place where Maran was laid.
7 Go now, quickly! Tell his talmidim, that he has risen from the dead; and behold! He will be before you to Galil; there you will see him. Behold, I have told you.”
8 And they quickly left from the sepulchre with fear and with great joy, and they were running so that they might tell his talmidim.

The Book of Psalms

Ch 113-118

Praise Mar-Yah. Praise, O you servants of Mar-Yah, praise the name of Mar-Yah. 2 Blessed be the name of Mar-Yah from this time forth and for evermore. 3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the name of Mar-Yah is great. 4 Mar-Yah is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like to Mar-Yah our God, who dwells on high, 6 Yet who beholds the things that are in the deep, in heaven, and in the earth! 7 He raises up the poor out of the dunghill, 8 That he may set him with the princes of the people. 9 He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise Mar-Yah.

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.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Forehead:”May I have the mind of Mshikha”, Mouth:”May I speak pure words of Torah”, Heart:”and may my heart be sealed”, Right shoulder: “in the blood of the Lamb”& Left shoulder :” Amen. ” God is One.

Or

Forehead:”Mshikha in my mind.”, Mouth:”Torah in my mouth.”, Heart:”The blood of the Lamb in my heart.”, Right shoulder:”In Yeshua’s Name.” & Left Shoulder:”Amen.”In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. God is One.

May Mar Yah Bless You and Keep You.
