He Stood Up To Read

Every time the Torah is read in our Sabbath assemblies, it is a rehearsal for that future time when we will all be gathered into Jerusalem to hear the Torah read by the gracious lips of King Messiah himself.

The Last Mitzvah

The Torah commands the transcription of the scroll. Let's consider the mystical aspects of this mitzvah.

The Anatomy of a Torah Scroll

Tradition has maintained a careful process in which a Torah scroll is made, treated and revered. In many cases they have preserved the Torah itself.

The Torah Reading Service

Is the public reading of the Torah in Hebrew a boring and needless tradition or the centerpiece of the Sabbath worship service?

The Public Reading of the Torah

A survey of the Bible and other ancient historical documents can help us surmise key elements about the public reading of the Torah in the synagogues in which Yeshua and His disciples gathered.

Insights into the Words of Torah

The garden of the Torah is before you; it is a desirable garden, the Garden of Eden, the Garden of the Lord.

Read the story of a Messianic congregation in the Northwest that had its Scroll stolen and the resulting testimony it brought to the Messianic community.
