Mikra (also spelled Miqra) (מקרא) is a Hebrew word derived from קרא, Kärä, meaning "that which is read", and refers to the Hebrew Bible, or Tanakh.
:Rav Huna bar Yehuda says in the name of Rabbi Ammi: "one should always complete the reading of one's weekly Torah portion with the congregation, twice from the mikra (i.e. Torah) and once from the Targum."
