Introduction 1
1 The Importance of Torah Study 7
Understanding how the Torah came to be put together, and
why Torah also is used to mean the totality of the Jew-
ish religious tradition The supreme importance of Torah;
through it we experience God s presence, re-experience
revelation at Mount Sinai, and guarantee Jewish survival
When we study Torah we discover ourselves
2 Who Should Study Torah? 31
The obligation to study Torah It is never too late to be-
gin All of us engage the texts of our tradition according
to our own capacities and experiences Torah study is a
lifetime journey and we are located at different places
along the way
3 Defining Torah 51
The Torah is the product of individuals who lived at many
different times, yet the Rabbis emphasized Torah s time-
less quality There are two Torah (the Written and Oral)
XI
The Torah contains everything while it is ever-expanding
The Torah is not in Heaven; it is the product of human
beings struggling to translate it into their lives
4 Discovering the Meaning of Torah 71
The terseness of the Bible presents us with unending
opportunities for interpretation, as does every element in
the text Intertextuality, the interaction among different
biblical verses, as a key to midrash Reading Torah forces
self-reflection and each text can be understood differently
at different stages in the student s life
5 A Community of Learners 95
The importance of being part of a community of individu-
als on Jewish journeys in search of meaning Torah cannot
be studied in isolation; we all require a teacher and study
partners Torah I shma—Torah study—is its own reward
It allows us to experience God s presence The pure joy of
Torah study as an unending source of knowledge about
ourselves and of deep personal satisfaction
