Tol’dot Adam – B’eresheet 5:1-6:8

Posted by Torah Focus on 16 May 2012 | Tagged as: Midrashim, Syndicated, Torah Focus

Tol’dot Adam – B’eresheet 5:1-6:8

Nazarene Codicil:  Mk .1:9-11, Lk.  3:21-38; Acts 1:15-26

After looking at the things which inspired us in the Torah readings we begin to look at the Mikveh of Yeshua. We look at the secrets of the Mikveh. We looked at the question of why Yochanan (John) validated the mikveh of Yeshua. What was Yochanan saying when he said that he should be immersed by Yeshua? What was the whole immersion of Yeshua about anyway? This Torah Focus covers some information about the Nachash Kadmon (primordial serpent of the garden). What did he look like? Why was Havah (Eve) alone with the serpent? Where was Adam? Why was Kayin (Cain) of a different temperament than Seth? What did Seth look like? We take the time to first learn to read and understand Rabbinic materials. All of this and more…

Hen-HaAdam

Posted by Torah Focus on 06 May 2012 | Tagged as: Midrashim, Syndicated, Thursday Night Live, Torah Focus

Hen HaAdam -Behold the Man (B’resheet 3:22-4:26)

This Torah Focus  began with the superficial look at the hermeneutic levels for the sake of understanding the present materials, We then began to look at the connections between the Torah Seder and the Nazarean Codicil analyzing heremenutic to determine the true meaning of “the Holy Spirit and fire.” .  We spent the dominate portion of our time looking at the Remes (Allegorical) hermeneutic of the Nazarean Codicil texts. We took a special and specific look at the statement of being “Immersed with the Ruach HaKodesh and fire (Baptized with the Holy Spirit and fire).”

Toldot HaShamayim (the Generations of the Heavens)

Beresheet (Gen) 2:4-3:21

In this Torah Focus we take a trip into Gan Eden. We stop to look at the trees, the river and the general environs.  The text of Beresheet tells us that there was a river which flowed into the Garden. What is the significance of the River? Does it have a name? What can we learn from the varied levels of hermeneutic  when they are applied to the Garden. This class uncovers some of the mysteries of that special place.

We took a special look at B’resheet 3:8 where we hear the voice of G-d walking through the Garden. We will also take a special look at this “garden.” The relationship between the Nazarean Codicil and Torah Seder is most amazing.  How does Rashi and the Ramban handle this passage and what really was happening? We will see this evening when we put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

Shabbat Zachor 5772

This week’s Torah Focus looks at the overwhelming problem of the Amalek. Who are the Amalek and why does G-d say that they must be dealt with in each generation? What happens when we read the name “Amelek” in Greek? Does reading the name Amalek in Greek reveal the hidden nature of the Amalek.  This class is very revealing.

Mesorah of Mark 143-144

Torah in Time

There is little discussion that the Torah Should be read according to some schedule. And, there are a great number of schedules whereby one could read the Torah. Why do we read the Torah according to any schedule at all? Can we read the Torah any time we want? What happens when we read the Torah according to the Triennial Torah reading cycle?

How does all of the relate to me personally?

This class looks at the Torah in relation to time.

Many of the above questions will be answered in this class.
