Legends of the Apostles: Fact or Fiction?
As I drudge through the writings of the ancient Church, I find many exciting details about the Apostles, Yeshua, and the early believers not found in the four canonical Gospels or the book of Acts. (It goes without saying that some--if not most--of it is simply fabrication and baseless legend). These stories can be found mostly in the apocryphal Acts of the Holy Apostles. Each Apostle is attributed a work...

Take FFOZ with you on your trip!
Recently, I had to make a trip that involved a lot of driving. Just before I left I looked up on my book shelf and there sat my Beit Midrash audio teachings for "Hallowed Be Your Name" and "Knocking on Heaven's Gates." At first I thought that I would never use them, but after an hour of listening to the radio I put one of the CD's in the player....

Prophet Margin
Tags: Prophets, Torah, Torah Club forum
I was joking around the other day when I wrote, "I am reading a book on the Prophets and just learned that the time from the first Prophet to the last Prophet is called your "Prophet margin." I got a couple of laughs and ALOT of groans from people. But, recently I have been fascinated by the study of the Prophets. Beginning after the fall festivals the new reading cycle...

Counting the Omer the old fashioned (electronic) way...
When I was a child I used to use a pencil and piece of paper. That seems old fashioned now that I have a computer and printer. When I was a child I use to ride a bicycle with training wheels. Now that I have a "big boy" bike the training wheels seem so old fashioned. When I was a child I can remember having to look at a map....

More than once I have heard people say, 'I really should learn Hebrew.' Well, now you can!! First Fruits of Zion is offering an at home study program called "Getting Started in Hebrew". This twelve session class (with videos and study helps) will give...

Volunteer Request
As part of a project that will likely span the period of several years, First Fruits of Zion is hoping to make the literature of the Jewish believers from the 19th and early 20th centuries available once again in newly published volumes. These works range from books to scholarly journals and are, in their original format, in the various languages of Hebrew, German, Yiddish, and others. Often times, the journals...

Boundary Stones
Tags: Boundary Stones, Torah
My wife and I have a good friend whose daughter is deaf. Whenever we got together with them I found it very hard to communicate with her since I did not speak her language. I decided it was time to learn sign language. Now that I can sign (a little) communicating with her is much easier. Many of us have family and friends that we try to share the Torah...
