Wrapping Up in Depths of the Torah at Portion 47
11:52 AM Eastern on Thursday. I've decided to wrap up my weekly reading in Depths of the Torah at portion 47 so that I can visit with my brother and his wife next week and then move directly into study of Compendium: Catechism of the Catholic Church on subsequent Thursday mornings. Having read Torah portions 48-54 and various commentaries related to them already in the past, now I can say that I have read the Torah all the way through and given considerable thought to Jewish and Gentile observance of the 613 mitzvot from a First Fruits of Zion perspective. This week's commentary by D. Thomas Lancaster includes three sections that I feel particularly comfortable ending on. The first section is titled "Mitzvah: Tearing Down Idolatry," from pages 1597-1598. The second section is titled "Mitzvah: The False Prophet," from pages 1608-1609. The third section is titled "The Enticer Today," from pages 1611-1612. I have been powerfully impacted by my study in Depths of the Torah, and I am sure I will be returning many times in the future to my First Fruits of Zion resources for reference and further religious formation.
