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
Default to the current week (use the user's timezone if available from
onboardconfig; otherwise system time).Call
mcp__jungle-shared__hebcal__torah-portionto get the parsha name and verse range. In the diaspora vs. Israel, parshiyot can differ — pass the user's location oril=true/falsebased on saved config.Output:
- Parsha name (Hebrew + transliteration)
- Verse range (e.g. Bereshit 1:1–6:8)
- Brief summary (2–4 sentences) — synthesise from general knowledge.
- Sefaria link —
https://www.sefaria.org/<Book>.<chapter>.<verse>?lang=bi
If the user has the
jewish-texts-referencecompanion 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.
