We don't know precisely, but the division of Parshas (weekly portions) goes back to Mishnaic times (c.1800 years ago), if not earlier. The word "parsha" can also mean "paragraph". The Torah's paragraphs (not chapters) go all the way back to Moses.
The Torah is divided into weekly readings, called "parshas". One system divides the text so the entire Torah is read in one year, another system is based on a three-year cycle. So at least in theory, all portions are read in equal amounts.
A parasha is a weekly Torah portion read in synagogues as part of the Jewish religious practice. It typically covers a specific section of the Torah and is read aloud during services, with commentary and discussion often following the reading.
The Torah has 5845 pesukim (verses). See also:More about the Torah
In Art Spiegelman's graphic novel "Maus," the importance of parshas trauma to Vladek lies in its deep connection to his experiences during the Holocaust. The term "parshas trauma" reflects the recurring themes of memory, survival, and the impact of past traumas on present relationships. For Vladek, sharing his story is a way to confront and process his painful history, while also imparting valuable lessons to the next generation. This highlights the significance of storytelling in coping with trauma and preserving heritage.
