Locate Aliyah Within its Column - Reference Tables

Finding your place in the Torah Scroll, or when practicing with a Tikkun Korim, is a two-step process:

  • Locate the Column containing your Aliyah, then
  • Locate the beginning text for your ALIYAH within that Column

These Reference Tables help you with the second step.

Scenario – Your reading is in Sefer Bereshit/Genesis,  Parashat No’ach, Cohen Aliyah.    Aliyah Address: Column # 6, Line # 32

You have Column # 6 in front of you.  Using these Reference Tables, you notice that your Aliyah is preceded by an Open Space – so you look for an Open Space around Line # 32.  When you find it, you look for the beginning text of the Aliyah.  When there is a match, you can confirm you have found your Aliyah by matching the preceding words. You can now begin reading your Aliyah.
