        The Torah can be understood on many levels.  It is said there are 70 interpretations for every sentence, maybe even every word, and maybe even every letter.  There are four main categories of understandings.  Pashat  - or the plain literal meaning 
 Remez -This is the level of allusion, or what can be derived from the Pashat
   Derush -This is the derivation of analogy, or the metaphorical
  Sod -This is the hidden, or mystical, level of understanding.  This is the level of Kabbalah.  It may be accessed through Gematria too, which may be studied separately or together with Kabbalah.
        The insights I share with you touch upon all of these!  No matter which level or combination of levels one studies the Torah, its lessons are as applicable today as they were to our ancestors.  When one understands this profound realization, one gains wisdom and reverence for the words contained in this amazing present we were given.  When one integrates the Torah’s lessons with action in this world, one becomes Torah. 
         This is why the Israelites - later known as the Jewish people - have been charged with the important task of never adding nor subtracting so much as even a letter from it.  We are also tasked with the responsibility to share this knowledge with the world.  Remember, there is only 1 G-d, and Adonai is the G-d of everyone.  The Jewish people were chosen by Adonai to bring the light of the Torah, G-d, peace, love, and understanding to the world.  Joyously, I respond to this calling as a teacher, one who is also a perpetual student.  The Torah is filled with eternal truths.  Times change, but human personalities, vulnerabilities, relationships, and motivations never seem to.
           Join me on a journey of discovery, knowledge, and tikkun olam, or healing of the world as we learn together.  It is truly a joyous journey of endless discovery!  I wish you love, and peace as always.   
Spiritually Yours,
Laura Weakley
