בַּחֲנֻכָּה, בַּנְּשִׂיאִים (שם ז). בְּפוּרִים, וַיָּבֹא עֲמָלֵק (שמות יז). בְּרָאשֵׁי חֳדָשִׁים, וּבְרָאשֵׁי חָדְשֵׁיכֶם (במדבר כח). בַּמַּעֲמָדוֹת, בְּמַעֲשֵׂה בְּרֵאשִׁית (בראשית א). בַּתַּעֲנִיּוֹת, בְּרָכוֹת וּקְלָלוֹת (ויקרא כו). אֵין מַפְסִיקִין בַּקְּלָלוֹת, אֶלָּא אֶחָד קוֹרֵא אֶת כֻּלָּן. בַּשֵּׁנִי וּבַחֲמִישִׁי וּבְשַׁבָּת בַּמִּנְחָה, קוֹרִין כְּסִדְרָן, וְאֵין עוֹלִין לָהֶם מִן הַחֶשְׁבּוֹן, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא כג), וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה אֶת מֹעֲדֵי יְיָ אֶל בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, מִצְוָתָן שֶׁיְּהוּ קוֹרִין כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד בִּזְמַנּוֹ:

On Channukah we read in the Nesi'im (the chiefs of the tribes) (Numbers 7). On Purim: "And Amalek came" (Exodus 17:8). On Rosh Chodesh: "And in the beginnings of your months" (Numbers 28:11). On the (convening of) the ma'amadoth (see Ta'anith 4:2) the reading is in the (account of the) creation, [heaven and earth "standing" on the offerings. The order of the readings is given in Ta'anith 4:3.] On fast days, we read in the blessings and the curses. ["If in My statutes, etc." (Leviticus 26:3) to impress upon them that troubles come to the world as a result of sin, so that they repent to escape them.] No break is made in (the reading of) the curses, but one (reader) reads all of them. On Monday, Thursday, and the minchah of Shabbath we read in the sidrah [of the week], and it is not "credited" to the (full) amount [i.e., when Shabbath arrives, they read again what they read on those days] — as it is written [This refers to the entire Mishnah, the source of the mitzvah for reading about the festival on the day of the festival] (Leviticus 23:44): "And Moses declared the appointed times of the L-rd to the children of Israel" — It is a mitzvah to read of each in its (appointed) time.

Tosefta Megillah

On a Rosh Chodesh that falls on Chanukah, we read (Num. 28:11), "And on the first of your months [etc.]." At the place that they leave off [the Torah reading] in the morning service on Shabbat, they begin from that point in the afternoon service. [Where they leave off] in the afternoon service, they begin from that point on Monday, [and from where they leave off] on Monday, they begin from point on Thursday, [and from where they leave off] on Thursday, they begin from that point on the next Shabbat. Rabbi Yehuda says, at the place where they leave off [the Torah reading] in the morning service on Shabbat, they begin from there on the next Shabbat.

Tosefta Megillah

One who leads the responsive recitation of the Shema, or blesses over fruit or over matzah, behold, he should not answer "amen" after himself. If he answered ["amen" after his own prayer], behold, this is how ignoramuses act. We do not answer with either an "orphaned amen" (i.e., where one does not know to what blessing he is saying "amen"), or a "truncated [amen]" (i.e., where one does not pronounce the entire word). Ben Azzai says, one who answers with an "orphaned amen" -- his children will be orphaned; with a "truncated [amen]," his days will be truncated. But whoever prolongs [his amen], his days and years will be prolonged.
