The Torah is read in the original in public Jewish services in the synagogue on at least
four occasions every week, plus additional readings on holidays. It's also read and
studied in private with some regularity by significant numbers of Jews. It's also read,
consulted, preached and taught throughout the Christian world, in translation as the
first five books of the "Old Testament" ... Genesis through Deuteronomy.
