Welcome
to the
TorahTorium
This website
has been established to provide access to a new and revolutionary
English translation of Genesis (the first book of the
Torah).
This new and
revolutionary translation of Genesis utilizes the English language's
vocabulary to explicate the Hebrew Torah comprised of a vocabulary
smaller than its English
counterpart.
The uniqueness
of this new and revolutionary English translation of Genesis lies in
its ability to combine English translation/commentary of the Hebrew
Torah with a literal English translation of each Hebrew word
while maintaining syntatic parity between two languages syntatically
antithetical to one another.
This website
is a self-educational connection to free access of the knowledge,
wisdom and spiritual meaning contained within the
Torah.
This website advocates
Torah study
and Judaic observance.
G-d listens when you
pray
G-d speaks when you study
Torah
-- DooMeeRaal
If a person gains a new insight into the Torah,
he must teach it to his colleagues and not be selfish about
it.
-- Yaakov Culi (as translated by Aryeh
Kaplan)
It is in Torah that G-d is most immediately
immanent and accessible,
and the study of Torah is therefore not only a
religious commandment per se,
but the most exquisite and the most
characteristically Jewish form of religious experience and
communion.
-- Norman
Lamm
Call
me 'DooMeeRaal'
All my life I knew of the Torah,
but little about its content and
meaning.
One day, I realized my thirst
for
knowledge, wisdom and
spirituality
could only be quenched by learning
Torah.
I wanted to learn Torah
in its original Hebrew language.
I wanted to read and understand
Hebrew
as easily as I understood
English.
I needed to find a bridge of
understanding
between the two languages.
For a while I looked longingly
at the unreachable
shoreline of the land of Torah
Then one day, I built my own bridge
between
the English-speaking world
and the Hebrew Torah.
This website is the bridge
between
the English-speaking world and the Hebrew
Torah.
Why
Study Torah?
I ask HaShem:
If, as You say, I am a world unto
myself,
and I imagine myself orbiting around You,
as a planet orbiting the sun,
does my study of Torah determine
whether or not I remain in
orbit?
I imagine HaShem would say:
As a world unto yourself,
regardless of whether or not you study
Torah,
you always remain in orbit around
Me.
But when you study My Torah,
then a living world are you;
as was the Earth
at the end of My sixth day of
creation.
And when you study not My
Torah,
then a desolate world are you;
as was the Earth during My first day of
creation.

Mantra

Accessibility is Key to the Assimilation of
Knowledge
On average, you have to go through a ton of ore to obtain an
ounce of gold. If gold
were more accessible, we would all quit our jobs and become gold
miners. When an average
English-speaking person with little or no knowledge of the Hebrew
Torah attempts to mine an ounce of ﬤ沯m the Torah, he or she
usually has to sift through a ﮒ of trials and tribulations. A newborn can only initially
assimilate mother୩lk or formula; then mashed food and finally
solid food. It takes
years for the newborn to develop the capacity to assimilate all
kinds of food. The same
is true for the uneducated.
You would no more attempt to have an uneducated person start
at assimilating the highest level of a particular branch of
knowledge than you would attempt to feed a piece of steak to a
newborn. I believe my
translation of the Hebrew Torah will make the assimilation of Hebrew
Torah knowledge a far easier task than it has ever been before. I hope my system of
translation will shorten the learning curve and
make acquisition of Torah knowledge a far less arduous
task.
The Financial Facts of Life
Regarding Education:
"Esoteric" means "teaching the few." "Exoteric" means "teaching
the many." "Esoteric"
is another word for "expensive." Food, clothing. shelter and
knowledge are commodities.
Time and money is the price one pays for an education. Not here. Time is the price you pay
for studying knowledge posted on this website. In most instances, money
paid for an education goes toward paying grossly underpaid teachers
and profit-making educational institutions. I'm a teacher who neither
desires nor asks for payment for that which is posted on this
website.
Visiting this TorahTorium website is not unlike walking into
a classroom. Each Torah
verse posted on this website is a lesson. You choose the lesson and
the time to study it. I
have put my teaching voice into each verse of the Torah so that when
you study a Torah verse posted on this website, it's as if I'm
teaching it to you myself.
Whether you're being taught by a living teacher or learning
from a book or from a website, it's your responsibility to
self-educate. Learning
is like eating: You eat
food, your body assimilates it, and it becomes part of you. You ingest knowledge, your
brain assimilates it, and it becomes part of you.
I believe the knowledge of the Torah is worth learning and
should be easily accessible.
This website is an "Exoteric" website because the knowledge
posted is available to you, at no cost, for individual or group
study.
You
Don't Have to Be Jewish to Enjoy this
Website
Regardless of your religious persuasion, or lack thereof, I
encourage the intellectually curious and all who thirst
for Torah
knowledge to freely drink from the wellsprings found on this
website.
