Torah study

He says, let your light shine in your house.

Now, I did talk about this last night in the Torah study, so I'll add it here so people don't have to go figure out what Torah study that was, because you may be listening to this a year after I do this teaching, all right, or more.

So what was I talking about? What I was saying was, if you're married, and you're walking this walk, and other people in your house are not walking this walk, you're supposed to let your light shine.

It doesn't say you're supposed to force them to have their light shine.

And the Rebbe says, leave it.

Study Torah.

Doesn't matter.

Stop debating.

So let's focus on the highlights rather than the lowlights, because there were plenty of periods when it wasn't that important.

But the highlights, I think, there were Torah study academies at Surah and Pumaditha that produced some of the greatest Jewish legal scholarship of all of history.

And that produced the so-called Talmud Bavli, which is the Babylonian Talmud, as opposed to Talmud Yerushalmi, which is the Jerusalem Talmud.

But when people say the Talmud...

Kiva means a tumma, a lack of imunah, or a bad thing.

There's an overarching question when it comes to Torah learning that everyone asks, which is the way it works.

When you go into any regular school, any academic institution, it's largely a delivery of information and then testing you on the information.

That is not what happens when you're learning Torah.

and to understand what you're reading, and you need a teacher and a guide.

My dad, Lars Anderson, has been working, well, he's been studying the Bible for 50 years, but for the past 12 years, he's been working on putting together a special Torah study called Messiah in the Torah.

And it is so rich.

We're going to tell you a little bit about it.

mentioned it last week.

You should go back and listen to that one a little bit more about the Jewish context.

But Dad, do you want to tell us a little bit about why you decided to make this Torah study available and and spent so much time and energy into creating the video sessions, and it's been a long work in progress.

Right.

And you rabbi teach how to live it now in our lifetime.

Like you say on Torah study, how can we put it in our life today? That's correct.

Next one's from Deanna Crisp in Matthew 3.15. Would the statement, permit now for this, be a functional start when addressing correction?

Look, I think he was just using polite language, okay? I guess the idea of addressing correction, he was trying to be nice.

Oh, but you're, you're sitting there going, "Yeah, yeah, I get that," but yet you're still listening to teachers teaching the wrong stuff.

Okay? We didn't have Torah study last night because the building was closed because we ran, we didn't have power, right? The power was out.

So I got to do something I don't normally get to do on a Friday night.

I got to spend the whole time working on teachings and listening to other people's teachings because I'm always looking to see if anybody out there is saying anything that I might agree with or not, and I heard a bunch of stuff that I wanted to yell at the TV.

Shabbat shalom, everyone.
