Cantillation Café - Parashat Mattot

In certain prescribed years in the Jewish calendar, Parashat Mattot is read in combination with Parashat Mas'ei. This presents some challenges for the triennial system. Suffice it to say, that there are three possible triennial patterns that can affect which verses in Parashat Mattot are read when it is read separately from Parashat Mas'ei. Refer to the Hebcal.com web-site to determine the current triennial pattern.

That said, CantorEducator.com will try to keep the current triennial pattern at the top of this web page. The following list of triennial patterns shows the other recognized possibilities in the USCJ triennial system.

Questions and concerns about this web page should be directed to Hazzan Linda Sue Sohn.

Parashat Mattot
Shabbat Torah:
(Parashat Mattot / Mas'ei pattern:
together-together-separate)

Triennial Year 1:

See Mattot / Mas'ei

Triennial Year 2:

See Mattot / Mas'ei

Triennial Year 3:

See below for Eisenberg Triennial tradition vs. Cohen Triennial modification ... your choice!

Triennial Year 3 schedule:
Eisenberg Triennial tradition vs. Cohen Triennial modification

...Because the triennial schedule for parashah pairs, such as Mattot / Mas'ei, is not complicated enough...

Now, there is a makhloket (rabbinic disagreement) regarding the third year of a together‑together‑separate triennial pattern. Confused? Most understandable if you are!

Suffice it to say that the "Cohen modification" aliyot designations below are what you'll find in the "Luach Hashanah" published annually by Rabbi Miles. B Cohen and Leslie Rubin. The Eisenberg Triennial aliyot designations below are the original recommended readings.

The bottom line...you should consult your community's leadership to determine which aliyot you'll be reading in Triennial Year 3.

Enjoy!!
