● THE NINE QUESTIONS ABOUT “THE LIVING TORAH”:
In this video about Rabbi Michael Skobac’s Lecture Series: The Living Torah: A Journey Through the Five Books of Moses, the Rabbi addresses the following nine questions on why he has created this series.
1. What inspired you to create a series called The Living Torah?
2. When you call the Torah “living,” what do you mean by that? How is it alive for us today?
3. Can you give us a taste of one powerful idea or theme you’ll be exploring in the first session, on Bereishit – The Book of Genesis?
4. How do you plan to balance textual study with spiritual and philosophical exploration?
5. What are some of the deeper life lessons or moral insights the Torah offers that people might overlook in a surface reading?
6. Many people see the Torah as an ancient text. Why do you believe it still speaks directly to modern life and contemporary challenges?
7. Will your series draw on traditional Rabbinic commentaries, such as Rashi, Ramban, and Rav Hirsch? How do those voices shape your understanding of the Torah?
8. What do you hope participants will take away from this journey through the Five Books of Moses?
9. If you could sum up the message of the entire Torah in one sentence –what would it be?
