name: parsha-this-week description: Return this week's Torah portion (parsha) — name in Hebrew and transliteration, verse range, summary, and a link to the full text on Sefaria. Optionally accepts a date to look up a different week.

Parsha This Week

Steps

  1. Default to the current week (use the user's timezone if available from onboard config; otherwise system time).

  2. Call mcp__jungle-shared__hebcal__torah-portion to get the parsha name and verse range. In the diaspora vs. Israel, parshiyot can differ — pass the user's location or il=true/false based on saved config.

  3. Output:

    • Parsha name (Hebrew + transliteration)
    • Verse range (e.g. Bereshit 1:1–6:8)
    • Brief summary (2–4 sentences) — synthesise from general knowledge.
    • Sefaria linkhttps://www.sefaria.org/<Book>.<chapter>.<verse>?lang=bi
  4. If the user has the jewish-texts-reference companion plugin installed, suggest they invoke it for full text.

Edge cases

  • Double parshiyot (e.g. Tazria-Metzora) — return both names.
  • Holiday weeks (e.g. Pesach, Sukkot) — there's a special reading instead of the regular cycle; surface that.
  • Israel vs. diaspora drift — happens when a yom tov falls on shabbat in the diaspora; flag clearly.
