How the weekly portion is set
The Torah is divided into 54 portions, and one is read each Shabbat, starting with Bereshit after Simchat Torah. In years with fewer free Shabbatot, some portions are read in pairs, such as Vayakhel–Pekudei. When a festival falls on Shabbat, a festival reading replaces the portion, which is why Israel and the rest of the world sometimes read different portions for a few weeks.
About the weekly portion
Why is the parsha sometimes different in Israel?
When the extra festival day kept outside Israel (for example the 8th day of Pesach) falls on Shabbat, communities abroad read a festival portion while Israel moves on to the next parsha. The two schedules line up again a few weeks later, when the diaspora reads two portions together.
When does the Torah reading cycle restart?
On Simchat Torah the last portion, Vezot Haberacha, is finished and Bereshit is begun at once. The following Shabbat reads Parashat Bereshit.
What is the haftarah?
A passage from the Prophets read after the Torah portion, usually linked to its theme.
