General attribution and source notes
editThe subpages which are transcluded onto this page are adapted from the corresponding independent articles about each Torah portion. The subpages here are generally not footnoted, but the original pages on each Torah portion are footnoted.
- When the transcluded page is a regular weekly Torah portion, you can visit the independent article by clicking on the name of the portion here.
- When the transcluded page is for a holiday reading, you would need to find the article on the corresponding regular Torah portion(s); clicking on the name of the holiday will take you to the article on the holiday.
That the code on this page correctly transcludes the current portion of the week can be corroborated from any number of Internet sites publishing Jewish calendars. A definitive printed source for this is Arthur Spier's The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar, the latest edition of which (as far as I know at this writing) is ISBN 978-0873063982, from 1986. (In a way, there is little need for the printed volume now, exactly because the information is widely available online.) StevenJ81 (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Apparently originally the staging ground for this page, which eventually became subpages. See details inside.
