Welcome to Limmud
It is my pleasure to welcome you to The Fellowship’s new learning initiative, Limmud. The Hebrew word Limmud means “a study” or “a teaching,” and it is our intention to provide you with monthly in-depth studies of biblical topics from the Jewish perspective.
Each edition of Limmud will explore another topic from the Torah. Together, we will go far beneath the surface level of each topic, gaining important insight from millennia of Jewish tradition, wisdom, and commentary. We will explain how each topic is integrated into Jewish living today, ask stimulating thought questions, and offer ways to apply the teachings to our own lives.
It is my hope and prayer that through these studies, you will have a greater understanding of the Jewish roots of Christianity and that you will grow deeper in your own faith and walk with God.
With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President and Founder
