Yeshua in the Torah
How Can We See Yeshua in the Torah?
On the road to Emmaus, Yeshua revealed himself to two disciples not by declaring his resurrection but by teaching them about himself through the Torah, showing how the scriptures point to him as the Messiah. This practice encourages us to seek hidden treasures in the Torah, connecting Yeshua to Jewish teachings and traditions. By exploring rabbinic literature and Jewish perspectives, we uncover new insights about Yeshua and deepen our understanding of his role as the Jewish Messiah, blending traditional Judaism with Messianic faith. Let us learn and apply these lessons in our daily lives.
A parsha (פָּרָשָׁה, “portion”) is one of the 54 weekly Torah portions. One is read aloud in synagogue every Shabbat, so the whole Torah, the five books of Moshe, is read in order each year, finishing and starting again on Simchat Torah. Each parsha is paired with a haftarah, a reading from the Prophets. Choose a parsha below to watch its lesson, open the reading, or see when it’s read this year.
