welcome to torah club
Shalom,
Why is the Bible so hard to understand? Its a Jewish book!
Did you know that the whole Bible was written by Jews? That Jesus and all his
disciples were Jewish and practiced Judaism? If you dont understand Judaism,
you wont understand the Bible.
Gentile Christians unfamiliar with Judaism and the Jewish roots of Christianity
often misunderstand important things in the Bible without even suspecting
it. Torah Club students have a special portal into the Bible, a passport into the
world of Jewish thought, commentary, and history which opens the whole
Bible and makes all the pieces fit together.
Torah Club is more than a Bible study, its a Bible education. The Torah
(Instruction) of Moses is the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, and Deuteronomy. The Torah Club is a one-of-a-kind Bible study
spanning Genesis to Revelation, and its all about connecting Christians back to
the Jewish Roots of Christianity.
We at First Fruits of Zion are on a mission to restore an understanding of the
original faith and practice of the apostles and first followers of Yeshua of
Nazareth. We specialize in teaching Scripture from a historical, linguistic, and
cultural context using ancient, biblical and extra-biblical sources.
Torah Club resources will help you to:
Make sense out of the Bible, seeing it like youve never seen it before
Get closer to God and deeper into His Word
Fall in Love with the Torah, the whole Bible, and the Jewish people
Get to know Jesus better
After almost two thousand years, Jewish people are beginning to reconsider
Yeshua, and many are meeting him as the Messiah. Christians are rediscovering
their relationship to Israel and the Jewish people. God is on the move, and
the wheels of biblical prophecy have begun to turn. This is one of the most
exciting times in history to be alive.
Thank you for considering Torah Club.

FROM THE COVER: The inscription is an acronym in Hebrew that stands for Beezrat HaShem

God for everything we do, and that all must be done for his sake and his glory.
