Teaching Notes 2006-2007 (5767) Torah Cycle

 | 

You may have heard that there are four levels of meaning at which the Torah is interpreted and understood. To learn more about these traditional ways of understanding Torah, click on the link to discover the Four Levels of Meaning.

The weekly teachings from the sidras are in the form of notes rather than full narratives. The real value in these teachings though, is the actual interaction between the teaching leader and those attending the study. As is traditional in synagogues, the teaching isn't a monologue but a discussion of the topics introduced by the teacher. These notes can only give you an idea of what topics were introduced and the scriptural verses referenced. The teachings are presented in pdf format so you can download them to your computer and save them on your hard drive.
