The reading for Bechukosai can be found on page 708 . Note: The Shabbos Torah Reading is divided into 7 parts. Each section is called an Aliya literally: Go up] since for each Aliya, one person "goes up" to make a bracha [blessing] on the Torah Reading. 1st & 2nd Aliyot: The beginning Pesukim describe the wondrous successes awaiting the nation, so long as they follow G-d's Mitzvos. 3rd Aliya This Aliya is called the Tochacha - the Rebuke. It is a lengthy description of the terrible punishments awaiting the nation, if they do not follow the Torah. It is customary for the Baal Koreh (the one reading the Torah) to have this Aliya, and to read it faster and more quietly than the rest of the Parsha. 4th Aliya: The established prices for endowments of an individual’s worth, or that of an animal, are listed. 5th, 6th & 7th Aliyot The final portions deals with endowments of property to the Bais Hamikdash. Overview is courtesy of Rav Aron Tendler

The Haftorah can be found on page 1179. Yirmiyahu's words ring with the same urgency and fear as the Tochacha itself. Yirmiyahu was the Navi who beseeched his people to repent before the impending destruction and exile of the nation. He decried the delusions of those who used their ill begotten wealth to serve idols and foreign ideologies. They denied the benevolence of G-d and were destined to go into exile. The acquisition of wealth through illegal means is a denial of G-d's
ability to provide and protect. He who trusts in man for his strength and future is destined to be betrayed. He will be as a lone tree in the wilderness (17:6) bereft of protection or support. On the other hand, he who trusts in G-d will be blessed and secured. Reemphasizing the message of Sefer Vayikra, Yirmiyahu exhorts the nation to beg G-d for salvation and healing, and to trust His constant love and caring.
