Aitz Hayim uses the trienniel year partition when reading Torah every Shabbat. To see the parsha of the week with the triennial reading, click on the link at the end of this paragraph and then click on the link in the new page which corresponds to the day of the year you are seeking.  We are currently reading Triennial Year II. Here you will see the Chapter and verse for the 7 Aliyot for that day. When you then click on each Aliyah link, the new page displays the Hebrew and English text for that particular reading. To see the rest of each particular reading click on the link that says FORWARD above the English text.http://www.hebcal.com/sedrot 

Our library of scholar lectures including outstanding works by Rabbi Irwin Kula, Professor Stephen Katz, Rabbi Donniel Hartman, Rabbi Ed Feinstein and others as summarized by Neesa Sweet, plus insightful member essays is updated regularly.
