Torah Means Teacher: Lessons from the First Five Books of the Bible: Dr. Nahum Roman Footnick ~ Inspired by Dennis Prager and many more…

Summary: The Torah Means Teacher podcast welcomes you! Please join our discussions and sit in our Torah study class held at Congregation Beth Yeshurun in Houston, TX. The class is lead and taught by Dr. Nahum Roman Footnick. Dr. Footnick is not a Rabbi, nor does he work for the synagogue (and his views expressed are not necessarily those of the synagogue). Rather, in 2010 he was simply invited by the rabbis of the shul to host a class. A short time after, his classes became quite popular. Because Dr. Footnick teaches the Torah in manner that makes it accessable for all (Jews, Christians, atheist, and anyone), he was asked to record his sessions for references and for those unable to attend. Now those recordings are available to all as a FREE podcast. So, if you have ever had an interest in: God, Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), the Bible, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Atheism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Hebrew, Sumer, Philosophy, Psychology, NLP, Hypnosis, Egyptology, Archeology, Science, Miracles, Aliens, Angels, Despotism, Communism, Liberty, Americanism, Israel, Ethics, Morality, Holiness, Goodness, Evil, Free Will, and much, MUCH more then you will enjoy Torah Means Teacher as all these areas are frequently discussed in one manner or another. Nahum utilizes commentary from many sources. Most dominant are Dennis Prager, Jacob Milgrom, Nahum Sarna, Umberto Cassuto, Nehama Leibowitz, and of course many other Rabbis like Rashi, Rambam, Ramban, etc.

Howdy folks!  In this class we continue discussing what it can mean “to bear false witness” and how we can apply this to our lives.  If you have any questions, comments, or disagreements – share your thoughts below.  Thanks!

We pick up from our last class and continue our discussion on “No Stealing”.  We talk about different forms of theft and how to prevent it.  And then we begin discussing the next part of the 8th or 9th commandment, depending on how your religion numbers them.

 TMT 047: Exodus 20:13b or 20:14 (No Adultery) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:08:24

Okay so this is where we find problems with verse numbers yet again.  In the Jewish Publication Society version (JPS) this verse is a continuation of 20:13.  However, in the NIV, KJV, and the most popular versions around this verse  of the Ten Commandments (“No Adultery”) is listed as a separate numeric verse, 20:14. Here […]

 TMT 046: Exodus 20:13 (part 3 – Discussion on Euthanasia, Suicide, and other Difficult End of Life Issues) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

FYI: This audio was featured in Ultimate Issues 027.  Original air date was Nov. 21, 2013 on my Ultimate Issues Podcast. This was an interesting class (if I can be so bold as to call my own class interesting.)   Due to other events happening in the community we had a small group attend and we […]

 TMT 045: Exodus 20:13 (6th commandment – part 2) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:03:43

The commandment prohibiting murder needed further discussion, so in the next weeks class we continued discussing Exodus 20:13 “Do Not Murder.”  In this class we largely discuss the question “Why is murder wrong?” This class was featured in an Ultimate Issues episode (UI 026). Subjects pertain to: Q: Why are there explanations and consequences for […]

 TMT 044: Exodus 20:13 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:00:20

  So grateful to be back and healthy!  This week we pick up were I left off and it’s just one verse.  Exodus chapter 20 verse 13.  Yep, that is it.  Since it’s such a short simple verse, I figured I would use it to illustrate the difficulty in translation by showing various translations and […]

 TMT 043: Exodus 20:12 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:04:14

I am back!  Sorry for the temporary hiatus.   Moving, construction, illness, and a holiday made last week temporally challenging.  So we are picking up this week.  This week we cover Exodus Chapter 20 verse 12.  Yes, one verse.  But it’s an interesting verse.  Let’s check it out. Exodus 20:12 (NIV) “Honor your father and […]

 TMT 042: Exodus 20:8 – 20:12 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:03:16

We are still covering the commandment regarding Shabbat and work in this class.  I go a little more in depth with Cassuto and Heschel commentary. Then we begin discussing verse 12.  This commandment will be followed up in the next segment of TMT. Exodus Ch. 20 (NIV): 8“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. […]

 TMT 040: Exodus 20:5 – 20:7 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:00:09

Welcome to Torah Means Teacher! Thankfully I pressed “record” this time in class so this is a more normative recording.  We covered Exodus chapter 20 verses 5, 6, and 7. Exodus 20 (NIV): 5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for […]

 TMT 039: Exodus 20:3 – 20:6 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 24:40

This TMT episode is just me, you, and a microphone.  Sorry, you won’t hear any class participation in this one. Why?  Well, I did not hit “record” when the class was originally held.  It was my fault and I apologize. So, what you are going to be listening to is just me in my studio […]

 TMT 038: Exodus 20:1 – 20:2 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:04:14

This week we cover Exodus ch. 20 verses one and two… Yes, I know we are moving at blazing speed.  But I think you might be surprised by the subjects that come up in this class.  Below are the verses: Exodus 20 (NIV): 1And God spoke all these words: 2“I am the Lord your God, who brought you […]

 TMT 037: Exodus 20:1 – Intro to 10 Commandments | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: Unknown

Being such an important subject, I dedicated a lot of time to trying to bring clarity and understanding regarding the Ten Commandments. Many people have preconceived notions regarding these important words.  Unfortunately, many mock or simply dismiss the Ten Commandments and their significance. So in this class we review some of what was covered last […]
