This document outlines the order of service for a Torah fellowship gathering. It includes opening prayers, songs of praise, and readings from the Torah portion "Ki Tetze." Several readers presented passages from Deuteronomy chapters 21-25 discussing laws related to marriage, treatment of enemies, justice, and more. The Haftarah reading came from Isaiah 54:1-10 about God showing mercy to Israel. The gathering concluded with blessings, teachings for children, and encouragement for fathers to diligently teach the commandments to their families.

Fathers:
Deu 6:6 And these words, which I command you this day, shall be
in your heart:
Deu 6:7 And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and
shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk
by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Deu 6:8 And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and
they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
Children:
Deu 6:20 when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What
mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which
YHWH our Elohim has commanded you?
68. Kids
Fathers:
Deu 6:21 Then you shall say unto your son, We were Par’oh's
bondmen in Mitzrayim; and YHWH brought us out of Mitzrayim
with a mighty hand:
Deu 6:22 And YHWH showed signs and wonders, great and sore,
upon Mitzrayim, upon Par’oh, and upon all his household, before
our eyes:
Deu 6:23 And He brought us out from there, that He might bring
us in, to give us the land which He swore unto our fathers.
Deu 6:24 And YHWH commanded us to do all these statutes, to
fear YHWH our Elohim, for our good always, that He might
preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
Deu 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all
these commandments before YHWH our Elohim, as He has
commanded us.
