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)
A Garden of Fire
The nations will attempt to rise up against you in their wrath, for Ruach ha’Kodesh will not be with them guiding them to the Light of the Truth of Alhym. But they will be destroyed and cursed from the land because of their sins and because of their uncleanness. For indeed, there shall be no remnant from among them when they are removed by the Fire of the Word of Alhym. The fire will blaze against them and they will be obliterated from the face of the earth, and their souls shall be annihilated from all the world, and his neighbour will look upon the place in which he once stood and he will be no more, and his memory will soon be forgotten.

Praise Mar-Yah. Praise the name of Mar-Yah; praise him, O servants of Mar-Yah. 2 You who stand in the house of Mar-Yah, in the courts of the house of our God, 3 Praise Mar-Yah; for Mar- Yah is good; sing praises to his name, for he is delightful. 4 For Mar-Yah has chosen Jacob to himself, and Israel for his congregation.

Odes 31
1 I rested on the Spirit of Mar-Yah, and She lifted me up to heaven; 2and caused me to stand on my feet in the high place of Mar-Yah Alaha, before His perfection and His glory, where I continued glorifying Him by the composition of His Odes.
3 The Spirit brought me forth before the presence* of Mar-Yah, and because I was the Son of Man, I was named the Light, the Son of Alaha. *(or “face”)

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.
