<p>There is a well-known <em>Gemara</em> in <em>Brachos</em><a href="http://ohr.edu/5029#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="">[1]</a> that states: “A person should always complete his [study of the]
<em>parsha</em> with the congregation<a href="http://ohr.edu/5029#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title="">[2]</a> - [by studying]
<em>shnayim mikra v’echad targum</em>. Anyone who does this will have long days and years.” Learning the text of the weekly
<em>parsha</em> twice with the <em>targum</em> (keep reading for explanation) is a
<em>segula</em> for long life<a href="http://ohr.edu/5029#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title="">[3]</a>.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>What many do not know is that this statement of <em>Chazal</em> is actually codified in
<em>halacha</em><a href="http://ohr.edu/5029#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title="">[4]</a>!</p>
