How to Access Resources and Get Involved with TorahResource

Updated

TorahResource is a Messianic teaching ministry that publishes weekly Torah portion schedules, festival guides, articles, and a shop of audio, video, books, and prayer resources. You can use most of its core study material — the weekly readings and their notes — without paying, while the shop and some downloads are paid items. This guide covers what is available, where to find it, and the ways to subscribe, donate, or join events.

What TorahResource Is

The site describes itself as "Biblically Based • Honoring Yeshua • Upholding Torah." Its main content areas are:

  • Weekly Torah Portions — reading schedules with attached Apostolic Scriptures (New Testament) readings and notes on each portion
  • Yearly Festivals — pages for the Mo'dim, including Pesach, Shavuot, Yom T'ruah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Shemini Atzeret, Hanukkah, and Purim
  • Commentary — separate commentary sections on Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy
  • Resources — articles and community resources
  • Shop — audio/video, books, and prayer and siddur materials
  • TIMS — the Theological Institute of Messianic Studies, with a library and classes
  • Blog and Messiah Matters
  • 2026 Conference

Free Resources: Weekly Torah Portions and Festival Material

The weekly Torah portion section is the most direct free entry point. According to the site, these resources "are provided free," and the schedules cover two prevalent cycles:

Cycle Length Notes
One Year Torah Reading Cycle 1 year The cycle used by most modern synagogues
Three Year Torah Reading Cycle 3 years The alternative schedule the site also publishes

Each portion includes readings from the Apostolic Scriptures alongside the Torah reading. The site notes that readings have historically been split into a Torah portion plus a haftarah from the rest of the Tanakh, and that notes on each portion are reachable through the "Weekly Parashah" button.

Also free and seasonal: the Sukkot Blessings Booklet, offered as a download to prepare for the festival with prayers, blessings, and resources. The homepage promotes it with the note that "Sukkot begins this Friday at sundown," so this is a time-sensitive download rather than a permanent page.

Special readings are organized separately under Special Readings, covering Special Sabbaths and Festival Readings, with the Hebrew Calendar and Mo'dim pages as the index for the yearly cycle.

Paid Resources: The Shop

The shop sells Audio / Video, Books, and Prayer & Siddurs. The homepage points visitors to "Purchase downloads or visit our YouTube channel," which tells you two things: some downloads are paid items, and some video content is available on YouTube instead. The cart on the page shows a $0.00 balance, confirming a standard shopping-cart checkout flow. The site's pricing signals mention "subscribe," but no specific prices or subscription tiers appear in the available page content — check the individual shop listings for current pricing.

TIMS: Classes and Library

The Theological Institute of Messianic Studies (TIMS) has its own Library and Classes sections in the navigation. If your goal is structured study rather than weekly reading, this is the section to explore; the page content does not list specific course names, fees, or enrollment dates, so treat the TIMS pages themselves as the source for those details.

How to Subscribe, Contact, and Donate

  • Email List — linked in the main navigation and again in the footer menu; this is the way to get updates
  • Contact Us — also in both the main and footer navigation
  • Donation — a dedicated donation link appears in the navigation, and a "Donate" button sits near the cart
  • Congregations — a directory section for finding affiliated congregations

Other Ways to Get Involved

  • YouTube channel — referenced from the homepage for video content
  • Blog — ongoing articles and updates
  • Messiah Matters — a distinct content section in the navigation
  • 2026 Conference — a future event listed in the navigation

A Practical Starting Path

If you are new to the site and want to begin this week:

  1. Open Weekly Torah Portion and pick either the One Year or Three Year cycle.
  2. Read the current portion and its attached Apostolic Scriptures reading.
  3. Click the Weekly Parashah button for notes on that portion.
  4. If a festival is near, check Yearly Festivals or Special Readings — for example, download the Sukkot Blessings Booklet before the festival begins.
  5. Join the Email List so new portions, articles, and conference announcements reach you.
  6. Browse the Shop or YouTube channel if you want audio, video, or printed material to go with the readings.

The main thing to know before you start: the weekly reading schedules and their notes are the free core of the site, while shop downloads, books, and prayer books are purchases, and TIMS classes should be checked directly for their own terms.
