A Jew and a Gentile Discuss

S4 EP8 | Rinse and Repeat

Listen Later

In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra talk about the Jewish custom of reading through the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, each year, using a universal reading plan. Carly shares a bit about her background growing up Catholic, and they touch on how the “high church’s” Book of Common Prayer sprang from a Jewish concept begun during ancient Israel’s captivity in Babylon. They discuss how the plan works along with

  • The meaning of the Hebrew word “parasha” that describes a single reading
  • When the reading cycle starts, when to read and different ways to approach it
  • If Jewish people read any other Scriptures along with the Torah portion and if Jewish Believers in Jesus add New Testament Scriptures
  • Why the repetition?
  • If this is a good reading plan for Christians
