Tonight on Torah Focus

The ashes of the Red Heifer with some of the following questions.

Shalom Chaverim. We have reached the final pericope of Mordechai (Mark) and D’barim. We will be discussing the concluding remarks of the Torah and the Nazarean Codicil.

We will do a superficial review of the Amalek and then launch out into the depths of these final words to see what relevance they might have.

We will look at the three titles for the B’ne Yisrael to see what they tell us. We will also look at the cryptic passage from Jude which tells us that Michael the archangel argued over the body of Moshe. What could Jude (Hakham Tsefet’s scribe) possibly have been saying. The class will deepen when we take a deeper look at all the snakes of the past pericope and further relevance.

Shabbat Zachor 5772

This week’s Torah Focus looks at the overwhelming problem of the Amalek. Who are the Amalek and why does G-d say that they must be dealt with in each generation? What happens when we read the name “Amelek” in Greek? Does reading the name Amalek in Greek reveal the hidden nature of the Amalek.  This class is very revealing.

Mesorah of Mark 143-144

Torah in Time

There is little discussion that the Torah Should be read according to some schedule. And, there are a great number of schedules whereby one could read the Torah. Why do we read the Torah according to any schedule at all? Can we read the Torah any time we want? What happens when we read the Torah according to the Triennial Torah reading cycle?

How does all of the relate to me personally?

This class looks at the Torah in relation to time.

Many of the above questions will be answered in this class.
