Why read Torah on a yearly cycle?

From the very beginning of our faith as believers in Yahshua, the Torah, the five books of Moses, as well as the prophets and the writings, have been an integral part of Yah's plan. He said, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." (Matthew 5:17-19). This is clearly saying that Yahweh's commandments are still in effect. The first-century believers learned and practiced them. So should we. What was the method of learning the Torah (the five books of Moses) that was prescribed by the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15? "Known to God from eternity are all His works. Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath." (Acts 15:18-21). What this is saying is that in order to have fellowship with Jewish believers, the Gentile believers were at first required to do four things. But those were not the only four things that were expected of them as believers, only as new converts. The rest of it they would learn as they went to the Synagogue every Sabbath day. While this may have worked in the beginning, the fact of the matter is, Believers in Yahshua do not go to the Jewish Synagogue anymore. They were kicked out when historical tensions became severe between Christianity and Judaism (John 16:2). However, back in the days of Yeshua and the apostles, there was a method of Reading these five foundational books that originated in the 6th century BC and has survived to this day. This is the yearly system of Torah portions. The portions, also called Parashas, are read every week on the Sabbath. While the tradition began in Judaism and is not commanded in Scripture, the truth is, the Jewish people have had some really bad ideas over the years, and also some really good ones. This is one of the really good ones, and according to Acts 15, the disciples in the first century were taking advantage of it. So why shouldn't we?
