In what order should one read the two mikra and one Targum — verse by verse or parasha by parasha?
Synopsis
There is a major dispute whether shnayim mikra is performed by reading each verse twice followed by its Targum, reading each open/closed parasha section twice followed by its Targum, or reading the entire sedra twice followed by the complete Targum. The Mishnah Berurah presents these positions and notes the Gra's practice.
