Weekly Parashah
Tomorrow we have our weekly parashah, often referred to as the parsha or parashat ha-shavua, is a distinct portion of the Torah that holds significant importance for Jewish communities worldwide. However, in recent times, it has also gained popularity among a growing number of believers within Christian and Messianic congregations. The traditional Parashah encompasses readings from the Torah, comprising the initial five books of the Hebrew Bible, namely Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
Within Messianic and Christian communities, the weekly parashah not only encompasses readings from the Torah but also includes passages from the Prophets and the Gospels. This extension serves to complement the original Torah reading by providing prophecies and their subsequent fulfillment. By incorporating these prophetic scriptures, believers gain a deeper understanding of how ancient prophecies found in the Hebrew Bible were fulfilled in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospels. This comprehensive approach to biblical study offers valuable insights into the interconnectedness of the Old and New Testaments, enriching the spiritual exploration and understanding of believers.
