The Torah is yours. Reclaim it.

The Torah is your birthright. It is a beautiful, multi-layered, multi-dimensional text God gave to all of us, not just a select few elites. For too long, though, the Torah has remained hidden behind the high walls of the ivory tower. It has become the property of the elites, and we are told that we are not allowed to learn its laws or its messages for fear that we might misunderstand or misuse it.

I believe that the Torah is all of ours, and we should all have the tools to learn it, should we so desire. Yes, it’s true, the Torah can be dangerous1 but we mustn’t let that danger abrogate or somehow diminish our commitment to learning it - we just need to learn it the right way!

That is the purpose of this publication - to bring you the skills, philosophy, guidance, and education necessary to both learn and teach Torah on a high level, to take back agency over your halachic decisions, and to help you understand God’s will in this world, as revealed to us in the Torah and halacha.
