My lovely wife and I are ordering the "Shadows of Messiah" Torah Club, Volume II. It goes through the Torah (first five books of the Bible), and expounds on the pictures of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach (AKA; Jesus the Messiah).I highly recommend that you check out the sample for this one. When I read it, I had to have it. I am currently on a 'find the Messiah' kick in my personal studies, and from what I understand, Volume 2 is chock full of just that. If you are interested, click here, and fill out the information, and then check your email. You will receive an email that will have instructions on how to download samples of the Torah Club via PDF format (Yes, you can view it Mom - you have Acrobat Reader pre-installed on your computer) - you will be glad you did.
The Torah Club teachings are Torah studies from First Fruits of Zion, or FFOZ.org. I have been through their HaYesod DVD's, and read Messiah magazine, and can tell you first hand that these guys are great teachers. In fact, if you have ever heard me talk about the Hebrew class, our instructor is FFOZ's Community Liaison guy, Michael Badgley, who also goes to our church (you thought I was going to call it a Synagogue, didn't you?).
It is worth noting that when you are looking for information on the "Messianic", "Hebraic Roots", "One Law", or "Odd Gentile Christian People that Appear to be Jewish but Believe in Jesus... Only they call Him Yeshua" movement, it is safe to say that there are just as many wing-nuts (if I may be so bold) as there are balanced organizations. I believe that First Fruits is one of the most balanced that I have come across, and that is why I refer to them as often as I do. I am not a member of FFOZ.
I have, however, searched the internet, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walden Books, the Library, and just about every other place that I could find information on the "Hebraic Roots Movement", looking for sensible, sound teaching - teaching that didn't condemn those in the "Mainstream Christian" organizations that I had just recently come out of, and of which the majority of the Believers that I know are still a part of. I found that in FFOZ. If you have questions pertaining to what they believe, and why, check out the Frequently Asked Questions on FFOZ.org's FAQ page.
I promise, it will be worth your time.
Who knows, you might find yourself one day eating horse radish at a Passover Seder, wondering where you can get some good teaching materials on this "Torah stuff", or you might just be rethinking the term "Grafted In". In any case, Mangdiddles had a link to somebody that could help you.
