‍‍14 Tishre 5772 - October 11, 2011 By: Dr. Walter Oakley Category: Mesorah of Mark, Midrashim, SyndicateA4, Thursday Night Live, Torah Focus

This Torah Focus will looked at the High Holy Days, Mark and the Eucharist

We looked at Mark 14: 22-25

This final step of the Pesach Seder looks at the invention of the Christian “Eucharist.” How much legitimacy is there in the invention of the “Eucharist”?  Can it really be derived from the Pesach Seder? How did the order of bread then wine find its origins in the Christian Communion?

We looked at the relation of Mordechai (Mark) to the Triennial Torah readings and the High Holidays.

This is a very informative class as we apply P’shat Ritual Hermeneutics to the texts we will be reading.
