But there is a third cycle that has otherwise been completely forgotten about: the semiannual cycle. This cycle was developed by ‘Anan ben David, the legendary founder (or if you ask the Ḳaraites, reviver) of the Ḳaraite movement, in his (only fragmentarily preserved) Sefer ha-Mitsvot. In it, the entire Torah is read twice a year, concluding on the intermediate sabbath of both Pesaḥ and Sukkot before starting anew the next week. This idea did not catch on, even among the Ḳaraites, who to this day use an adaptation of the rabbinic annual cycle instead. But it has largely been preserved. Here it is restored and reconstructed for those whose main complaint with the Torah reading is it isn’t long enough: The reconstructed semiannual Torah reading cycle of Anan ben David based on Jacob Mann’s “Anan’s Liturgy and His Half-Yearly Cycle of the Reading of the Law” (Journal of Jewish Lore and Philosophy, 1:3/4 [July/October 1919], pp. 329-353), with my reconstructions in red
