Two Minute Torah gives fresh voice to an ancient wis­dom that still has impor­tant mes­sages for us in the 21st cen­tu­ry. In a mere two min­utes time, any­one who places a pre­mi­um on truth and integri­ty will find this rou­tine of dai­ly study invig­o­rat­ing and inspir­ing. It will change the way we under­stand our­selves, our friends, and our fam­i­lies. It will change the way we go about mak­ing impor­tant deci­sions in our lives. The love that the rab­bis had for study would have them bel­ly laugh­ing at those who thought reli­gion and sci­ence con­tra­dict one anoth­er. These schol­ars craved knowl­edge and fol­lowed an old Jew­ish idea: when­ev­er we learn some­thing new and com­pelling we have crossed paths with God. Some­times God speaks to us with myth and some­times with math. God speaks to us through the sacred texts of the Bible, Mish­nah, Gemara, and Midrash. One thing is for sure: God is always com­mu­ni­cat­ing with us and Two Minute Torah will open us to the many ways God’s wis­dom can guide us still.
