The Five Scrolls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (559 words)
The Five Scrolls are part of the third major section of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), which is called Ketuvim ("The Writings").
They are five relatively short biblical books that are grouped together and known collectively in the Jewish tradition as "The Five Scrolls" (Hebrew: Hamesh Megillot or Chamesh Megillos).
All five of these megillot ("scrolls") are traditionally read publicly in the synagogue over the course of the year in many Jewish communities.
Cantillation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1301 words)
The Five Megillot (3 melodies are employed for these five scrolls)
All are read in the same melody, which may be considered the "general" melody for the megillot: The Song of Songs on Passover; Ruth on Shavuot; Ecclesiastes on Sukkot.
The Ashkenazic tradition preserves no melody for the special cantillation notes of Psalms, Proverbs, and Job, which were not publicly read in the synagogue by European Jews.
