I just finished studying מצורע. Now I have begun studying אחרי in the Midrash Rabbah מדרש רבה.
Our journey has just begun and I am returning to the laws of Judaism and my wife Sandy is converting. We are embarking on this journey to become closer to God. The effort is a bit scary and filled with a lot of unknowns, but we are doing this with happy hearts and are both in awe over the path as it unfolds before us. It is the hope of Sandy and I that whoever reads this blog will see that what we are attempting to accomplish is very possible for anyone.

What is this that I keep posting about
People have asked me "what is this that I have been posting over the past few months?" I am studying the Bible starting from the beginning. I start a typical day with reading one of the 613 commandments 1 per day. Then I read from the text of the Bible with the commentary of Rashi רש״י. I follow that up by reading the Midrash Rabbah portion covering the Bible text I just read. Sometimes that effort takes a few days. Then I reread the Bible text with the commentary of the Ramban I find this gives me a well rounded perspective of the original Torah text.
