Introduction
Every believer desires to grow in Messiah. The first Psalm tells us that if we will delight in the Torah and meditate upon it,
from the river of Torah.
Planted by the River of Torah
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water… (Psalm 1)
The River of Torah is a river of words, written out on an ancient scroll. These words form the foundation on which our
knowledge of God is built. They are the words of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy—the Five Books
of Moses. Collectively they are called the Torah. They are the basis on which our Gospels and Apostolic writings stand.
They are the substance of Messiah and the knowledge of God (Hosea 4:6). The study of Torah is the study of God. That is
why the sages of Judaism refer to Bible Study as the “highest form of worship.”
Torah Club invites you to worship God in a disciplined, practical study of His word every week. It is an ancient approach to
the Bible meant to provide real spiritual growth.
Dig In! Go Deep! Learn Torah!
Are you ready to go deeper into the waters of faith?
Are you ready to explore your biblical heritage?
Just beneath the surface of our English translation of the Bible lies the ancient scroll of the Torah. Written in letter of
spiritual fire, it is a lamp to our feet; it is a light to our path; it is the bush that burns but is not consumed. The light of Torah
illuminates the whole of scripture, under-girding and binding together the entire bible. Herein is the Word of God. It is our
biblical heritage. It is the substance of Messiah. Ask your heart, "Is it time to unroll the scroll?"
Return to the old paths
"Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments
of God and their faith in Yeshua." (Revelation 14:12)
In the religious world toady, one often hears the mantra, "God is doing a new thing!" This catchphrase is usually offered to
explain the latest popular fad or charismatic wave to wash up on the shallow shores of modernity. We believe that "God is
doing an old thing!" God never changes, and is pouring out the same message He has always delivered through his Holy
Prophets, "Return to My Torah. Obey My Commandments!"
Many believers in Messiah, Jewish and Gentile alike, are feeling a deep longing to return to the biblically-observant lifestyle
founded in the Torah. Why? The Scriptures say,
"Now it will come about in the last days... many will come and say, 'Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the
house of the God of Jacob; that He may teach us concerning His ways, and that we may walk in His paths. 'For the Torah
will go forth from Zion, and word of the Lord from Jerusalem." (Isaiah 2:2-3)

For almost two millenia Christians have been taught that the New Testament replaces the Old Testament and that Jesus
(Yeshua) did away with the Law. Torah Club enables you to study both the Old and New Testaments from a Messianic
Jewish perspective and discover the truth.

Cut through the confusion... Discover the Truth Yourself!
It may surprise you to learn that many traditional Christian beliefs about the Old Testament are wrong. Torah Club is a
weekly Bible study program designed to help you study the Bible from a Messianic Jewish perspective.
The weekly lessons guide you into the Torah of Moses - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy - plus
ancient rabbinical writings and the New Testament, transforming you into a Bible scholar. Don't take anyone else's word for
it. Dig into the truth yourself.
First Fruits of Zion's Torah Club will draw you into a disciplined, practical study and worship of God every week. Its lessons
follow the ancient approach to Bible study, yielding real spiritual growth. Torah Club will not only change the way you think
about the Bible, it will change the way you think!
Change Your Mind
In the days of the Apostles, the Christian faith was a sect of Judaism. Torah study was the normal expectation for every
believer, Jew or Gentile. Jesus (Yeshua) Himself was a teacher of Torah. He encouraged His disciples to demonstrate
their love for Him by being faithful to the commandments (John 14:15).
Yet since the earliest Church fathers, Christians have studied the Bible as if Jesus (Yeshua) and the Apostles taught in
antithesis to Judaism and the Torah. Modern scholarship has revealed just the opposite.
The fact is that Torah is the foundation on which the rest of the Bible is built. It is impossible to accurately understand
Yeshua and the New Testament without first learning about this foundation. Studying the Bible outside of the auspices of
Torah and Hebraic thought is like trying to enter a walled city without using the gate.
The Torah Club program returns students to the ancient landscape of Hebraic-Jewish thought. Rather than forcing
disparate Bible passages to fit together, the study of Torah puts the whole puzzle together naturally and easily.
Torah Club may not have all the answers, but it asks the right questions to get you thinking, studying, learning - and doing.
