Trope for Torah on Shabbat
“The Bible should be read in public, and made understood to its listeners in musical and sweet tones. And he who reads the Torah without tune, shows disregard for it, and its vital values and laws.” (Talmud B. Megilla 32a)
The Torah reading (layning) contains the teamim (trope) signs as we use in our Dutch Liberal congregations, according to the West-European Ashkenaz tradition. These are the same for Shabbat and Shalosh Regalim.
Every ta’am has a melody. In general two or more teamim form a combination. Different combinations of teamim in a text form the trope. See below for the sheet music of these combinations.
