Torah Class - Day 4: Commandment 1 - Statutes 23-46

New Worksheets: Week 3: Statutes 47-74 (print/download, for the Torah studies on September 18 & 20)

On Monday, September 18, we will start our studies of Statutes 47-74... The link to print the blank worksheets for next week is above.

This week, we completed the study sheets for Statutes 23-46, which can now be printed and inserted into your Torah binder. 

If you wish to complete the Statute studies completely on your own, you may do so by simply only printing the blank (pdf) set of worksheets for this week and completing them outside of class. Note: you will want to be ready to start a whole new set of worksheets for each Monday's class.

If you wish to print and read/study this last week's Statute studies as completed by the instructor (in and outside of class), please feel free to print the completed set of worksheets for this past week.

All of our Torah Class worksheets are also viewable/printable from the Torah Class Binder Worksheets webpage.
