Torah Class - Day 2 - Commandment 1 & Statutes 1-22


This week, we completed the study sheets for Commandment #1 and Statutes 1-22, 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 over the weekend. Note: you will want to be ready to start a whole new set of worksheets in Monday's class, next week.

If you wish to print and read/study this 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 week.

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