Shalom all of our faithful viewers and listeners.
A Taste of Hebrew will be taking a new road within a couple of weeks. Dr. Elizabeth Oakley will begin teaching the “Taste of Hebrew” class. She will be picking up exactly where I have left off. Likewise she will be following the same basic format that I have initiated with you. Dr. Elizabeth is a GREAT Hebrew teacher. She has taught many students how to read Hebrew. The show will restart in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned.
Midrashim will continue as scheduled with the “Mesorah of Mark” series dominating our thoughts.
These changes are due to the overwhelming research and teaching load we already have. We pray that no one will be offended. We want to bring you the very best teaching possible.
Shalom and Shavua Tov

Midrashim – with Dr. Walter Oakley
Tuesdays on ARBA4 / Torah Focus
Midrashim starts a new series. This series will look at the “Gospel” of Mark from a new and exciting approach. We will take some time to look at the Tradition (Mesorah) or Mark with a new thesis in mind. This thesis postulates the idea that Mark was written in a Mishnaic fashion. The Mesorah” of Mark was transmitted to Mark by Peter his mentor and Sage. It will take us some time to work this thesis out. However, we are excited that this work will be full of revelation concerning Yeshua our Messiah.
You will also want to download the supplemental material and study guide that goes along with this class. Click the “EBook” connection below.
