The Torah (5 books of Moses) is divided into 54 sections, or in Hebrew, parshas. One is read each week as part of the Sabbath services, and is the focus of learning for that week.

How big is every parasha?

Each of the parashot (the plural of parasha, or parashah) is a section of a sidra or weekly portion on the Tanakh (Hebrew bible). However, each sidra is not of equal length, and each parashah is not necessarily equal to exactly one seventh of each sidra - so the size, or length, of eash parashah varies.The parashah for today (Sidra Ki Teitzei, Deuteronomy 21.22 - 22.7) is 310 words (not including Rashi's commentary), the one for tomorrow (Sidra Ki Teitzei, Deuteronomy 22:8 - 23:7) , at 795 words, is considerably longer.

What is the story of elephant princess?

Alexandra Wilson is a normal girl living in an average suburb. She can sing brilliantly (she's a songwriter at heart), she's funny and driven. Alex's band is her life, and her band-mates: expressive Amanda Tucci, and realist J.B Deekes are her closest friends. There's also Marcus, their lead guitarist - he's a year older, and well, rather attractive. Alex has two grounded parents: Anita and Jim, and one very centre-stage younger sister - Zoe. Life is very normal. But... Since birth Alex's had a succession of causing strange, somewhat magical events. Fortunately she's been able to conceal, ignore or deny them all. But then a young man dressed in exotic robes - Kuru, with a decorated adult elephant - Anala (who has a tendency to vanish now and again) arrive on Alex's doorstep. Kuru explains Alex is actually Princess Liliuokalani Parasha Khaled Persphone Amanirenas of Manjipoor. Alex is not so sure about that! But the magical effects she seems to cause have recently blossomed. It's scary. Alex asks Kuru and Anala to leave. But they won't go anywhere. They are under the Royal command of Omar, (Chief Advisor to the former Queen Nefari) to bring the Princess home to rule.Manjipoor is an exotic, mystical kingdom that exists very close to our world - but not in it. The nation was born 600 years ago when 'gifted' people - sorcerers, oracles and witches fled persecution and created their own territory, and then later moved it for their protection to a parallel existence by magical means! Kuru's mission is made easier when Alex's parents accept him as an 'exchange student' and he is invited to stay at their home. He does his best to fit in at Alex's school. Alex keeps her identity as a Princess a secret from everybody but Amanda and J.B., but it's an ongoing problem concealing a wilful, sometimes-invisible elephant in her backyard. The recent revelation by Omar of the existence of Manjipoor's secret Princess, shocks and threatens Vashan - the last royal relative in a conflicted and dying dynasty, who fully expected to rule. Aided by his skilful servant Diva, Vashan acts at first subtly, then overtly to prevent his cousin - Alex from claiming her inheritance. Back in 'The Old World' - our world, Kuru's persistence with Alex starts to have an effect. Alex begins to practise and accept her magic - and it often goes awry. It's not easy being a teenager with magical powers! Alex uses her magic to rectify some very teenage related issues - as well as bend the occassional rule, but she draws the line with using magic in her music or for the band. They've got to prove they're good enough without it! Following an encounter in Manjipoor where Alex learns some of the history of her real Mother, Queen Nefari, and is introduced first hand to Vashan's enmity, Alex awakens to the strong qualities developing inside her, and the need for her in Manjipoor as a Princess. Simultaneously, Alex, Amanda, Marcus and J.B. improve as a band. They get gigs, and Alex's confidence as a singer increases. Alex finds the pull between both worlds conflicting. When Vashan becomes increasingly bold in his endeavours to undermine and overtake Alex, his actions precipitate a series of stunning revelations affecting the lives of Alex, Kuru, Anala and Omar and the future of Manjipoor. Alex finds she must make a choice about where her real destiny lies …
