Even Tanakh Year
All of Tanakh in 50 weeks, mĕshullash: each day has a reading from the Torah, from Nĕviʾim and from Kĕthuvim, with the books in the order the Rambam gives (Hilkhoth Sefer Tora 7:15). The Torah track is balanced on its own; the other two share out what’s left so the day’s total stays even. Days end on a pĕthuḥa or sĕthuma wherever the length allows. Start the week after Simḥath Tora; the last day of each week is kept free for catching up.
How the plan was made
Nĕviʾim and Kĕthuvim follow the Rambam’s list: Yĕhoshuaʿ, Shofĕṭim, Shĕmuʾel, Mĕlakhim, Yirmĕya, Yĕḥezqeʾl, Yĕshaʿya, Tĕre ʿĂsar; Ruth, Tĕhillim, ʾIyyov, Mishle, Qoheleth, Shir Hashshirim, Qinoth, Daniyyeʾl, Mĕgilla, ʿEzraʾ (with Nĕḥemya), Divre Hayyamim. In Tĕhillim every psalm boundary counts as a section break, and Psalm 119 may break between its eight-verse letter stanzas.
After the Torah reading, the rest of the day’s target is split between Nĕviʾim and Kĕthuvim in proportion to their size (about 63% and 37%), so a long Torah day gets shorter Nakh portions and all three tracks finish together in week 50. Short books like ʿOvadhya are read together with their neighbors. Ruth, ʾIyyov, Mishle and Qoheleth have few or no section marks, so days there end at chapter ends.
Text and section marks follow the Leningrad Codex (Westminster edition), so a handful of pĕthuḥoth and sĕthumoth differ from the Aleppo tradition as recorded by the Rambam. Verse numbers follow the standard Jewish numbering, including the Decalogue.
The split minimizes squared deviation from the daily target word count plus a cost for each kind of break: nothing for a pĕthuḥa or sĕthuma, a little for an ‘ăliyya boundary or a hand-picked scene break, more for a bare chapter end. No day crosses from one book to the next, and no day ends mid-paragraph at an arbitrary verse.
For comparison, the daily ‘ăliyyoth run from 33 to 935 words, with most days between about 80 and 380.
A common year from Simḥath Tora to Simḥath Tora has 50 to 51 weeks, so the 50-week plan fits every year with a few days to spare. A leap year gives about four extra weeks, which you can spend as slack or begin later. Tish’a bĕʾAv falls on a weekday in most years; use the catch-up day for that week’s reading.
