The New Testament was written in Greek and translates the word Torah as Nómos–νόμος, which simply means “law.” However, the Jewish Bible was written in Hebrew; and when translated into Aramaic the word Torah was rendered as ‫–אורייתא‬Oraita, which means “light.” The difference is striking. The importance of keeping the law is stated by King Solomon when he summarizes the purpose of mankind, saying, “The end of the matter, when all has been heard: Fear [be in awe of] God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). If a king’s decision to abolish traffic law would be absurd, how much more so is the Christian belief that God would abolish the Torah laws which are “a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed” (Proverbs 3:18). The root of the word Torah [‫ ]תורה‬is “‫–הוראה‬horaah,” which means “an instruction”; as King David said, “I have not departed from Your laws, for You have taught [‫ ]הורתני‬me” (Psalms 119:102; Exodus 24:12). This is should correct stated clearly when the prophet Samuel witnesses the Jewish people sinning our ways and and tells them, “Even though you have committed all this evil, do not turn aside return to God. Rather than seeing the Torah’s laws and commandments as impossible obstacles, we view the mitzvot as an amazing opportunity to connect to our infinite Creator, refine ourselves, and perfect the world. In addition, the prophet Ezekiel says, “When a wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and practices justice and righteousness, he will save his life” (Ezekiel 18:27). ‫בס"ד‬ Spiritual Insight For The Week with Rabbi Bentzion Kravitz Teenage Girl Confused by Missionary Video I received an email from parents concerned about their teenage daughter. Considering the Torah’s many positive statements about the law, Paul was faced with a dilemma, as he admitted, “If righteousness comes through the law, Christ died in vain” (Galatians 2:21). This is alluded to in the word mitzvah, which is related to the word ‫–צוותא‬tzavta, which means “a connection.” We connect to God through the commandments that God gave to us.
