On Wednesday evening, July 20th at 6:30pm, there will be a presentation on the Torah from Ken Larson of God's Ancient Library (Ken is also the founder of Slumberland furniture). Ken will help us understand how God has preserved His Word and have a Torah on display to see. The presentation will be held at Charleston Event Center. Hope to see you there!

Torah is a Hebrew word meaning instruction, specifically referring to the law of God. It has a wide range of usages. Torah is used to refer to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) written by Moses and recorded, preserved and read in an annual cycle in the synagogue in scroll format. The counterpart to the Torah in book format is called the Pentateuch. The Torah is copied by a highly trained professional scribe, called a sofer, and the work is carefully regulated by rules that safeguard the accurate and acceptable transmission of the text. One of the most notable features of the text of the Torah is that it lacks vowel points, punctuation, cantillation signs, chapters and verses. The Torah is only comprised of the consonantal text of the first five books of the Bible.
