First Reactions
Hundreds of people have visited the new Torah PORTIONS website. We have had many people write kind compliments and words of encouragement. A comment came in this morning that was simple—yet to the very heart of this new endeavored. They said,
I read part of the Torah this morning and just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy it. Blessings to you!
Torah PORTIONS goals are to make the Torah more accessible and approachable. It is a simple, clean and clear presentation of the Torah readings. People can get quick access to the weekly readings, print the text or listen to the portion read aloud. One listener described the audio options as,
I am easily distracted by different accents, even irritated by certain voices, but I actually also thought the Torah Portion reader's voice is dreamy in a gentle, peaceful, easy to listen to, warm, way - maybe even a little "ethereal." His voice attracts my attention and in no way distracts from the content of the material.
Other notes of encouragement state,
I really think that this will be helpful to those of us who don't have hardly any likeminded people around us. It will be a whole lot easier to introduce and maybe easier to "swallow" for those who have no idea about the Torah....like so many of us at one point.
I just emailed this website to my dad. I told him it was a great way to keep up with what we are reading and when we are reading it. What Boaz said about G-d's word meeting us where we are, is so true! We just have to find ways to get people to spend time in G-d's word!
Great site! I've put a link on my Facebook site
My husband and I loved it. Listening to Isaiah being read I felt as if HaShem was reading it (speaking) directly to me.
Please let us know ways that we can improve this site to meet your needs, or to be more effective in presenting the word of God. In the next couple of weeks you will see some additional features.
Please spread the news of Torah PORTIONS to others, send out an e-mail, create links on your blogs, websites or post a note on other messianic and Christian forums. Anything that you can do to help us get the word out we appreciate it.

Visitor Feedback:
I have been asked about making the pages printable. Is that possible?
**Bill, we did set up the print feature. Just use your print option in your browser and the text should formate to a print template.
