Thanks for your message. Hebcal does not publish regular Shabbat mincha Torah readings on our Leyning spreadsheet downloads nor via the Leyning (Torah Reading) API. We publish weekday readings only for Mondays & Thursdays. We do publish Mincha readings on those spreadsheets for fast day holidays that have a special mincha reading (YK, 9Av, and minor fasts like Asara B'Tevet / Tzom Tammuz).

When Rosh Hashanah falls on Shabbat (Saturday), the Torah scroll is read during Mincha, but it does not feature a holiday-specific reading. Instead, following the standard Shabbat afternoon practice, the community reads the very beginning (the first section/aliyah) of the upcoming weekly Torah portion (the Parshah) for the next week.

In the case of Rosh Hashanah 5787 which occurs on Sat, 12 September 2026, the Shabbat mincha reading is Parashat Ha’azinu, the upcoming regular weekly parsha
