Ki Tavo ~ Standing again at Har Gerizim (and Har Eival)

This sheet is to be used by the Levites as we recreate the ceremony at Mount Gerizim and Mount Eival in our service.

All rise at the appointed time. Levite(s) come to near the reading table. Oleh says blessing.

Rabbi begins the Hebrew until verse 13.

Levite(s) read(s) the blue words, rabbi reads yellow words, everyone reads green words. We will do it line by line Hebrew/English from verse 13 onwards.

(13) And for the curse, the following shall stand on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
