“Tol’dot Noach”
“The generations of Noah”
B’resheet (Gen.) Gen. 6:9 – 7:24
Ashlamatah: Is. 54:9-17 + 55:5
Psalms 5:1-13
N.C.: Mark 1:12-13
Luke 4:1-13 & Acts 2:1-13
This evening’s Torah Focus will look at the varied connections between the Torah Seder Tol’dot Noach and the Nazarean Codicil. We hope to give an overview of how we read and interpret the Nazarean Codicil.
The text of the Nazarean Codicil discusses Shavuot – the day of Pentecost. We will address the voices and the miracle of Shavuot. We will look at the Tanakh to see if the account in 2 Luqas (Acts) bears similar information. We will look at the voices, thunders and lightning to see what all of this is about. We will try to take time to link the Mishnah, Tosefta passages of Markos and Luqas to see how everything links together.

Tol’dot Adam – B’eresheet 5:1-6:8
Nazarene Codicil: Mk .1:9-11, Lk. 3:21-38; Acts 1:15-26
After looking at the things which inspired us in the Torah readings we begin to look at the Mikveh of Yeshua. We look at the secrets of the Mikveh. We looked at the question of why Yochanan (John) validated the mikveh of Yeshua. What was Yochanan saying when he said that he should be immersed by Yeshua? What was the whole immersion of Yeshua about anyway? This Torah Focus covers some information about the Nachash Kadmon (primordial serpent of the garden). What did he look like? Why was Havah (Eve) alone with the serpent? Where was Adam? Why was Kayin (Cain) of a different temperament than Seth? What did Seth look like? We take the time to first learn to read and understand Rabbinic materials. All of this and more…

Tol’dot Adam – B’eresheet 5:1-6:8
Mk .1:9-11, Lk. 3:21-38; Acts 1:15-26
Tonight’s Torah Focus, the secrets of the Mikveh. We will look at the question of why Yochanan (John) validated the mikveh of Yeshua. What was Yochanan saying when he said that he should be immersed by Yeshua? What was the whole immersion of Yeshua about anyway?
Remes – Hint
What do we learn from the genealogy Yeshua? Why are there conflicting opinions concerning the genealogies?
What are we to learn from Hakham Tsefet (Peter) standing up to give his lecture at the dawning of Shavuot? (Acts 1:15-26)
Tonight concluded Lag B’Omer. How does Lag B’Omer fit in the scheme of the Triennial Torah Readings?

Hen HaAdam -Behold the Man (B’resheet 3:22-4:26)
This Torah Focus began with the superficial look at the hermeneutic levels for the sake of understanding the present materials, We then began to look at the connections between the Torah Seder and the Nazarean Codicil analyzing heremenutic to determine the true meaning of “the Holy Spirit and fire.” . We spent the dominate portion of our time looking at the Remes (Allegorical) hermeneutic of the Nazarean Codicil texts. We took a special and specific look at the statement of being “Immersed with the Ruach HaKodesh and fire (Baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire).”

Beresheet (Gen) 2:4-3:21
In this Torah Focus we take a trip into Gan Eden. We stop to look at the trees, the river and the general environs. The text of Beresheet tells us that there was a river which flowed into the Garden. What is the significance of the River? Does it have a name? What can we learn from the varied levels of hermeneutic when they are applied to the Garden. This class uncovers some of the mysteries of that special place.
We took a special look at B’resheet 3:8 where we hear the voice of G-d walking through the Garden. We will also take a special look at this “garden.” The relationship between the Nazarean Codicil and Torah Seder is most amazing. How does Rashi and the Ramban handle this passage and what really was happening? We will see this evening when we put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

Shalom and welcome to the New Triennial Torah Readings
The rather large parsha is most beautiful. While it may take some time to read it is well worth the time and effort.
Happy Reading

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.
