Men Of Torah

The Nephilim get a bad rap and there MUST be a reason for this flood!

The Sages took the familiar "No taxation without representation" and flipped around to teach us something.

What's the difference between righteousness (tzedakah) and charity?

This is a recap of Tim Hegg's paper on kosher separation.

What do the Sages say about the distribution of wealth? You'll be surprised!

Do we have this right? Is kneeling the preferred posture for prayer? How many examples are there of kneeling? Standing? Sitting?

What does it mean to be a tzadik if you had to describe the day-to-day walk? What does the life look like?

We review the physical differences, Biblical mandates and traditional expressions between flogging and scourging, using references from Torah and Talmud.

The men discuss the concept of Community. Why is it so important? What do we lose without community? What is our identity without community?

Something's fishy in the Scriptural account regarding the Sanhedrin at the time of our Master, Yeshua. Do they have power or not? Did they do things unthinkable? We take a behind-the-scenes look at the politics of the first century.

Yeshua was VERY upset with the money changers in the Temple court. Why did He choose His last Pesach to overturn the tables? Two holiday stories come together to raise questions and teach us some great history from which to learn. We examine Pesach and the Master's last Seder.

We look at the four devotions decribed by Luke, "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers." (Acts 2:42) Download the presentation from http://menoftorah.com.

Liturgical prayer is often blasted by professional Christendom for being without spirit and motivation. Is there value to these prayers? What are we to think of the Scripture describing the early believers in Yeshua which says (in the Greek) that they were continuing in "the prayers." (Act 2:42)

One of my favorite topics, the Regular Rhythms of Righteousness. In this review, we take a look at the current holiday norms in the church today and compare them with the Biblical model. Have you ever wondered how a young man can get so wayward in just a few short days from Sunday morning to Wednesday night church supper? Here's the answer.

How would you feel if someone were to follow your every movement for three days and nights, recording your speech and actions, then posting it online for all to see and hear? Is that bothersome? As tzadikim we strive for transparency in our lives. Let's talk about it.
