A parsha library, week by week
The heart of Rabbi Mordechai Sitorsky's recorded collection is the weekly parsha. The catalog moves through the year in order — Mikeitz, Bo, Beshalach, Yitro, Mishpatim, Terumah — so that a listener can follow the Chumash at the same pace the community reads it in shul. With more than 700 recordings, the cycle is covered many times over.
The titles hint at how he works a portion: "Wisdom of the Locust" on Parashat Bo, "Above it All" on Beshalach, "From Last to First" on Mishpatim, "The Consolation of Teshuvah" on Terumah. Each takes a single detail or phrase from the parsha and opens it outward into a larger idea.
Beyond the weekly portion
Alongside the parsha, the collection reaches into the Jewish holidays and into Rosh Chodesh, marking the turns of the calendar as they come. These recordings let a listener prepare for a Yom Tov or a new month with material tied directly to the season rather than to a general theme.
A further thread runs through Tehillim, the book of Psalms. Where the parsha classes follow the Torah's narrative, the Tehillim material stays closer to the language of prayer and the inner life, giving the library a second register beside its week-by-week backbone.
How to follow the cycle
The simplest way into a collection like this is to match it to the calendar: each week, find the current parsha and listen to one class before or after Shabbos. Because the recordings are grouped by portion, the current week's material is easy to locate without hunting.
For a family, a single parsha class can become a shared reference point, giving everyone at the table one idea in common to turn over during the meal. Over a full year, following the cycle this way quietly builds a steady relationship with the Chumash.
