Saturday, September 12, 2009 corresponds to 23 Elul 5769 on the Hebrew (Jewish) calendar. The Hebrew date begins at sunset on the preceding evening.

The Torah portion for this week is Parashat Nitzavim-Vayeilech (פָּרָשַׁת נִצָּבִים־וַיֵּלֶךְ). The weekly Torah reading cycle divides the Five Books of Moses into portions read in synagogues each Shabbat.
