Does the Torah contain comedy? In this week’s teaching, we explore the comedy in parsha Balak. Before we get there, we make some discoveries in parsha Chukat, a portion filled with enigmas and paradoxes. David explores how Chukat speaks about the “mystery of life and death.” We also find here a fascinating link between Miriam […]
The main topic in this year’s Bamidbar teaching concerns the ranking of tribes apparent in the organization of the wilderness camp – some tribes given higher places than others.

If the Torah is for today, why does Paul in 1 Corinthians 3 refer to the tablets of The Ten Words as emblems of a “ministry of death?” Join Beth Tikkun as we tackle this often misunderstood chapter, a passage that brings forward a vital principle for understanding God’s plan for salvation and the abundant […]

Before beginning a new study series, we are taking some time for Q&A. This week’s questions include: 1) How do we distinguish between “sin,” “iniquity,” and “transgression”? 2) a question about Jude’s mention of the feud over Moses’ body […]
With this Shabbat falling on the 8th day of Sukkot (“Shemini Atzeret”), we continue to pause our Nehemiah study for one more week to focus on the transcendent. Perhaps no part of scripture moves “beyond” more than the end chapters of Revelation. So it is that we focus this Shabbat on Revelation chapters 21 and […]
Our main focus in Nehemiah this week is chapter 6, where we witness the ending of Sanballat’s machinations against the work of God. What finally puts an end to this enemy’s scheming? Linked to this question, we continue learning how we stand up to spiritual enemies. Other topics include characteristics of false prophets, the month […]
Parshah Vayikra, the first portion in the heart of the Torah, gives us invaluable pictures of how we draw near to God. The main aim of this teaching is to lay a foundation for looking at the sacrifices as examples for how we can be living sacrifices, and, thereby, draw near to God. We start […]
Join us for this final Torah Project teaching in Genesis. We begin this lesson by noting the Jewish discomfort with Joseph’s decision to embalm his father’s body, drawing from the discussion an important principle about how we are to relate to God’s creation. We then focus on the little word “perhaps” in verse 15 that, […]
Join Beth Tikkun as we continue our new series called The Torah Project. This series arose out of Grant’s desire to write a commentary on the Torah, therefore, these teachings will be based upon each week’s progress in the writing project. In this teaching, we look into what it means to be made in God’s “Image” and God’s […]
