Discovering Torah Wonders


Book Description

Discovering Torah Wonders - Sefer VaHair EineinuUnlocking the Hidden Wonders of the TorahDisclaimer: Good knowledge of the Hebrew language and background Torah education is required to fully understand this book.The Bible Code, or the Torah Code, is a hidden code of Equidistant Letter Skips from within the over 3,300 year old Hebrew Bible that forms meaningful words and phrases that demonstrate foreknowledge and prophecy.Meeting Dr Eliyahu Rips noted Russian Mathematician and Torah Codes expert changed my life. Together with a team of leading scholars including famous mathematicians, among them (Rabbi Doron Witztum, Harold Gans Senior Cryptologic Mathematician for U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, RETIRED, and PRESENTLY INDEPENDENT MATHEMATICAL CONSULTANT, Russian Mathematician Dr Alex Rotenberg, and many others) he shows that the ancient tradition of the greatest of Rabbis that everything is encoded in the Torah is real. Dr Rips spent countless hours showing me astonishing Torah wonders on his computer together with his neat color printouts and he has over 25 years of research that have not yet been published. There is strong - even overwhelming - evidence that Torah Codes are real.This color book show a few examples from my personal notes, and serves as an introduction to the Torah's endless wonders yet there are hundreds of more examples that have still not been published. Please use this book to learn that there is most definitely an intentionally encoded message in the Bible, yet understand that we cannot always decipher every message correctly, and we certainly cannot use the Code to predict future events or to try to promote any specific religion or ideology other than to say that the Torah was clearly written by God.This book contains the Holy Name of G-d so please treat it with respect.For those who do not understand or appreciate the mathematics of the Bible Code, i recommend reading: Marvels of our Blessed G-d's Torah: An Abridgement of Rav Tzvi Hirsch Schlez's Magnum Opus by Rav Yitzchak M Goodman. Even better would be to read the Hebrew original of Rav Tzvi Hirsch Schlez's Magnum Opus called Niflaos MiToras Hashem.For those seeking to understand the harmony of Torah and Science, read Mysteries of the Creation by Rabbi Dovid Brown, an extremely Valuable book.And for those who like to see the great patterns in the bible read Patterns in Genesis and Beyond by Rabbi David Sykes

The Lost Book of Moses


Book Description

One man’s quest to find the oldest Bible scrolls in the world and uncover the story of the brilliant, doomed antiquarian accused of forging them. In the summer of 1883, Moses Wilhelm Shapira—archaeological treasure hunter and inveterate social climber—showed up unannounced in London claiming to have discovered the oldest copy of the Bible in the world. But before the museum could pony up his £1 million asking price for the scrolls—which discovery called into question the divine authorship of the scriptures—Shapira’s nemesis, the French archaeologist Charles Clermont-Ganneau, denounced the manuscripts, turning the public against him. Distraught over this humiliating public rebuke, Shapira fled to the Netherlands and committed suicide. Then, in 1947 the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. Noting the similarities between these and Shapira’s scrolls, scholars made efforts to re-examine Shapira’s case, but it was too late: the primary piece of evidence, the parchment scrolls themselves had mysteriously vanished. Tigay, journalist and son of a renowned Biblical scholar, was galvanized by this peculiar story and this indecipherable man, and became determined to find the scrolls. He sets out on a quest that takes him to Australia, England, Holland, Germany where he meets Shapira’s still aggrieved descendants and Jerusalem where Shapira is still referred to in the present tense as a “Naughty boy”. He wades into museum storerooms, musty English attics, and even the Jordanian gorge where the scrolls were said to have been found all in a tireless effort to uncover the truth about the scrolls and about Shapira, himself. At once historical drama and modern-day mystery, The Lost Book of Moses explores the nineteenth-century disappearance of Shapira’s scrolls and Tigay's globetrotting hunt for the ancient manuscript. As it follows Tigay’s trail to the truth, the book brings to light a flamboyant, romantic, devious, and ultimately tragic personality in a story that vibrates with the suspense of a classic detective tale.

The Original Torah


Book Description

Is the Torah true? Do the five books of Moses provide an accurate historical account of the people of ancient Israel’s origins? In The Original Torah, S. David Sperling argues that, while there is no archeological evidence to support much of the activity chronicled in the Torah, a historical reality exists there if we know how to seek it. By noting the use of foreign words or mentions of technological innovations scholars can often pinpoint the date and place in which a text was written. Sperling examines the stories of the Torah against their historical and geographic backgrounds and arrives at a new conclusion: the tales of the Torah were originally composed as allegories whose purpose was distinctly and intentionally political. The book illustrates how the authors of the Pentateuch advanced their political and religious agenda by attributing deeds of historical figures like Jeroboam and David to ancient allegorical characters like Abraham and Jacob. If “Abraham“ had made peace with Philistines, for example, then David could rely on a precedent to do likewise. The Original Torah provides a new interpretive key to the foundational document of both Judaism and Christianity.




Torah Through Time


Book Description

"This book provides a highly readable, engaging introduction to Jewish biblical interpretation." - Jewish Book World "Cherry has analyzed the biblical commentary of some of the renowned Jewish scholars of the last 2,000 years. The result is a work of excellent scholarship and imagination." - Booklist ?Cherry shows how the Torah functions as literature that is fluid, compelling, and persistently generative of new meanings.? ? Christian Century Every commentator, from the classical rabbi to the modern-day scholar, has brought his or her own worldview, with all of its assumptions, to bear on the reading of holy text. This relationship between the text itself and the reader's interpretation is the subject of Torah Through Time. Shai Cherry traces the development of Jewish Bible commentary through three pivotal periods in Jewish history: the rabbinic, medieval, and modern periods. The result is a fascinating and accessible guide to how some of the world's leading Jewish commentators read the Bible. Torah Through Time focuses on specific narrative sections of the Torah: the creation of humanity, the rivalry between Cain and Abel, Korah's rebellion, the claim of the daughters of Zelophechad, and legal matters concerning Hebrew slavery. Cherry closely examines several different commentaries for each of these source texts, and in so doing he analyzes how each commentator resolves questions raised by the texts and asks if and how the commentator's own historical frame of reference -- his own time and place -- contributes to the resolution. A chart at the end of each chapter provides a visual summary that helps the reader understand the many different elements at play.
