This Shabbat we have the rare opportunity to read from three Sifrei Torah. The first reading is from the weekly Parsha which is Vayikra. We will combine the sixth and seventh Aliyah. The seventh Aliyah will be read from a second Sefer Torah for Rosh Chodesh. The Maftir Aliyah will be read from the third Sefer Torah for Parshat Hachodesh.
I don't know about you, but this is pretty exciting for me. (Maybe I just need to get out more). In fact, when I became Bar Mitzvah, I was disappointed that it did not fall out on a "Three-Torah-Day." I was born on Rosh Chodesh Chanukah, but that year it did not fall on Shabbat. Oh well.
In Judaism, we should always strive for more Torah and more rituals that inspire us. With Pesach right around the corner, this should hopefully not be too hard.
Shabbat Shalom
