About weekly parsha reading

The parsha, or weekly Torah reading, changes every week and goes in a set order. There are times when there is a double-parsha, two parshot read on the same week. It depends on whether the year is a leap year.
Use a Hebrew calendar to figure out the weekly parsha. It is usually listed on Erev Shabbat.

Why do you read from the Torah 3 days a week?

Around the 400-500's BCE, the elders decided that not enough people were attending schul on Saturdays when the entire parsha was read. So they decided to also read parts of the parsha in the marketplace (while everyone was shopping) to reach more people .... marketplace days occurred twice a week. Current practices echo that tradition.


What is the parsha for Yom Kippur?

Both morning and afternoon Torah readings come from parsha Acharei Mos. The morning reading starts at the beginning of the parsha, and details the Yom Kippur service of the Kohen Gadol in the mishkan and later in the Beit Hamikdash, including the korbanos, the entry into the kodshei kodoshim, the goat to Azazel, etc. The morning reading is rendered in the special nusach of the Yomim Noraim. The reading for minchah is a selection from later in the same parsha, where the various forbidden marriage relationships are listed ... possibly in recognition of the fact that Yom Kippur in ancient times was a kind of "Sadie Hawkins" day, when the gals approached the boys and there was considerable merriment. The reading in the afternoon is rendered in the regular nusach of the Torah trop year-around. The afternoon haftara is the entire book of Jonah, complete with giant fish, withered gourd, dry bones, etc. It's enough to take your mind off of hunger.
