The Jews are called the "People of the Book."
There is just one problem. The Torah is not a book! The proof? The word “Torah” is related to the Hebrew world horaah, which means “instruction.” It teaches us how live our lives in a holy way, and since life involves many different activities, the Torah addresses them.
Agriculture:
“You shall not plant the vineyard with mixed seeds.” (Deuteronomy 22:9)
Business:
“A perfect and just weight shall you have; a perfect and just measure shall you
have.” (Deuteronomy 25:15)
Behavior:
You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Levitcus 19:18)
Civil
Law: “If indeed the theft be found in his hand alive, whether an ox or donkey
or sheep, he must pay double.” (Exodus 22:3)Yet the Torah is much more than a rule book for living in a holy way. Every word and every letter is woven into the very fabric of creation. The result is a living and evolving dynamic force of energy that reveals G-d's will to man. As the Messianic Era comes closer, these dimensions of Torah are being revealed.
The following links will demonstrate just some of amazing facets of the Torah.
