	aliyah?: AliyahNumber;
	/**
   * If true, the entire Parsha of the week will be returned.
   */
	wholeParsha?: boolean;
}

Response

If you request a single Aliyah, the response will be the same as offline support.

Otherwise you will get the entire Parsha:

interface Parsha {
	name: ParshaName;
	book: BookName;
	fullRef: string;
	aliyot: Aliyah[];
}
