Each section of the Pentateuch read as the weekly Sabbath lesson in the synagogue. Also, more loosely, any section, chapter, or passage of the Old Testament.
In mod. Jewish use, applied spec. to the section of the weekly lesson publicly recited in the Synagogue by a Jewish youth at the age of 13, when he becomes Bar-mitsvah (‘Son of, or heir to, the Commandment’). In this sense colloquially called ˈParshā or ˈPersha: ‘the boy read his Parsha well’.
