Seder ha-Mishmarah

The Seder ha-Mishmarah is a study cycle devised by the Ben Ish Ḥai and used by some Jews of Near and Middle Eastern origin , for reading the whole of the Hebrew Bible and the Mishnah in the course of a year. It depends on the cycle of the weekly Torah portions read in the synagogue. Some communities have a custom of public reading, whereby on each Shabbat afternoon the whole of the mishmarah for the following Shabbat is read out loud. In others, individuals use it as a basis for private study. The usual form of the cycle is set out in the table below. This cycle is unrelated to that for Ḥoq le-Yisrael , which is a study cycle founded by Rabbi Chaim Joseph David Azulai and includes excerpts from the Zohar as well as the Bible and the Mishnah. This too is often published in book form and is widely popular among Near and Middle Eastern Jews.
