Torah Tuesdays

Centuries before Yeshua walked the earth, Ezra the Scribe and the 120 elders of the Great Assembly divided the Torah (i.e. the first five books of the Bible) into 54 portions, so that in the course of a year the entire Torah scroll would be recited during weekly worship (i.e. a lectionary).  This practice is still observed around the world today.

Yeshua said that these Hebrew scriptures plainly testify of him (John 5:39, Luke 24:27).

In this class, we will be taking a year through the Torah on Tuesday evenings so that we can better understand how these Scriptures bear witness to Yeshua as the promised Messiah and in the process we will also get in touch with the Hebraic roots of our faith.
